Real cases. ENAWA scenario reconstructions.

What if AI could recognize the moment before someone sends the money?

Many scams succeed not because the victim is careless, but because someone creates urgency, fear, trust, and isolation at exactly the right moment.

ENAWA helps identify risk in the moment, understands the situation, provides the most appropriate safety response, and can take multiple actions to help prevent loss or harm — or reduce the impact as much as possible.

01 / REAL U.S. CASE

A fake security warning. A “safe” place for the money. Nearly $1.5 million lost.

In a 2025 U.S. Department of Justice case, a Carlsbad victim reported being deceived over months by people posing as tech-support, bank, and government employees after a fake computer-hacked warning. The victim was convinced to purchase precious metals and hand them over for supposed safekeeping. The reported loss was almost $1.5 million.

The scam that takes weeks to sound trustworthy.

Federal agencies also warn about relationship-investment scams in which trust shifts into pressure to use fraudulent investment or cryptocurrency platforms.

HIGH-RISK PATTERN

Some risks only become visible as patterns over time.

ENAWA can use evolving conversational context to recognize escalating manipulation, controlling behavior, threats, coercion, and other unsafe relationship patterns — then provide alerts, support, or take appropriate action when risk is identified.
