Trusted Circle

Bring in someone you trust when something feels off

Trusted Circle is FraudSentry's human support layer. It helps you bring in people you trust, on your terms, when you want a second opinion before acting.

What Trusted Circle is

Trusted Circle is FraudSentry's support layer for sharing reports with people you choose, so suspicious situations do not have to be handled alone.

Trusted Circle is permission-first. Contacts are chosen by you, sharing is triggered by you, and nothing is designed as hidden monitoring or emergency surveillance.

What can be shared

  • A report link or report summary you choose to share.
  • The risk level, key warning signs, and practical next steps.
  • A short note from you explaining why you want a second opinion.

Share a report clearly

Send a structured FraudSentry report to a trusted contact when you want a second opinion or practical support.

Create a pause before acting

Use Trusted Circle as a calm checkpoint before sending money, sharing information, or following pressure tactics.

Stay in control

You choose who is included, what gets shared, and when that sharing happens.

How control works

Chosen by you.
Controlled by you.
Shared with your permission.
Designed for support, not surveillance.

Trusted Circle is not emergency monitoring, hidden surveillance, or automated escalation. It is a support feature that only works when you choose to use it.

Add a trusted contact

Create a first trusted-contact list

Add the people you would want to pause with if something feels off. This first pass creates local placeholders only and keeps the setup supportive, not intrusive.

Share with permission

Prepare a report share

Sharing is always explicit. This first pass prepares a safe mock share flow without sending messages automatically.

Why it matters

Scam pressure often works by isolating people, creating urgency, and pushing them to act alone. Trusted Circle gives users a structured way to slow down and involve someone they trust.

This first pass keeps the feature deliberately simple so the support model is clear before more advanced authenticated management flows are added.

Current scope

Placeholder contacts can be added locally and selected for a mock share preparation flow.

Nothing is sent automatically in this pass, and there is no live messaging or background tracking.

Future authenticated versions can support invitations, confirmation, revocation, and clearer sharing history.
