The Side Door: Run RelayShield's Free Scam Checks Inside Your Own Muse

RelayShield's scamchecker connector is now LIVE in Meta's system. Submissions are being onboarded. But you don't have to wait for the queue — Muse lets you create custom connectors right now, and RelayShield's core checks are keyless. Paste one setup prompt and your own Muse can screen suspicious links, crypto wallets, and email addresses on demand.

How it works

Point your custom connector at RelayShield's live OpenAPI document:

https://api.relayshield.net/openapi.json

Three checks need no API key at all:

  • Link check (POST /v1/link-check) — run any suspicious URL against RelayShield's threat-intel corpus: 7.8M+ citations across 494K+ indicators, drawn from 115 monitored Telegram marketplaces where phishing kits and scam tooling are bought and sold.
  • Wallet risk (POST /v1/wallet-risk) — screen a crypto wallet address before you send funds to it.
  • Email check (POST /v1/email-check) — vet an unfamiliar sender address before you engage.

One more check takes a free key: the breach check, which ships with 100 free calls — enough to sweep your own addresses and see what's exposed.

The wording matters

RelayShield never tells you a link is "safe." A check with no hits returns "no flags found" — with the caveat that a clean result means the corpus has nothing on it today, not that the link is trustworthy. That discipline carries through the connector: verdicts are evidence-based, never reassuring.

One setup prompt

Copy, paste, done:

Add a custom connector using the OpenAPI spec at https://api.relayshield.net/openapi.json. Expose link-check, wallet-risk, and email-check (all keyless) plus breach-check (I'll supply a key when I want it). When I ask you to check something suspicious, call the right endpoint and report the verdict plainly. Never say "safe" — say "no flags found" when there are no hits.

Why a side door at all

The official connector goes through Meta's review and onboarding waves. The custom-connector route hits the same free endpoints and the same corpus, today. And every check deep-links back to RelayShield's Telegram miniApp (t.me/relayshield_bot/idcheck) for the full interactive workup — watching a link, rescanning it later, digging into the evidence behind a verdict.

RelayShield monitors 115 Telegram marketplaces for phishing kits, scam tooling, and threat indicators. Try the free checks at t.me/relayshield_bot.
