Signals, in the order they arrivedweight × mix

Why the score jumps. Each signal alone is noise. Different kinds of signal multiply rather than add: one kind ×1.0, two ×1.6, three ×2.1, four ×2.3. Ice Cream Security never interrupts on the score alone. It waits for the money move, the last reversible point, and the score decides how hard to step in. Weights shown are illustrative, to be tuned on labeled scam data.

Why now

Romance, crypto and tech support are one sequence wearing three masks.

Each one ends the same way: the victim moves the money with their own hands while someone guides them. Investment fraud is where the other masks cash out, which is why it is nearly half of all fraud losses.

reported to the FBI in 2025, up 26% from $16.6B in 2024.
