off-platform payment
Payment routed away from a traceable banking channel is the single most common feature of advance fee fraud. Once funds move by remittance or crypto there is no recall.
Matched: Western Union
urgency
Pressure to act before you can verify is manufactured. A genuine cargo does not evaporate because you took a day to check the seller exists.
Matched: last chance
suspicious link
Shortened links hide their destination, and plain http sends anything you type in the clear. Both are used to move a conversation somewhere unlogged.
Matched: bit.ly
Sentinel does this without being asked
On a paid plan the same patterns run against every inbound approach in the background, alongside thirty other checks across your deals, documents, counterparties and provenance. It explains what it found in plain language and never blocks you: Sentinel flags, you decide.
Advisory only, and deliberately blunt: a genuine counterparty in a hurry trips the urgency pattern too. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere, the check runs in your browser.
