Email fraud has become one of the most common cyber threats, causing financial losses and compromising sensitive information. Traditional spam filtering techniques often struggle to identify sophisticated phishing and fraudulent emails. This project presents an intelligent Gmail fraud detection system that combines machine learning techniques with Reddit-inspired ranking algorithms to improve the accuracy of email classification. The system analyses email content using Natural Language Processing (NLP), extracts textual and behavioural features such as suspicious links, keywords, sender information, and message patterns, and then applies a trained machine learning model to classify emails into Ham, Spam, or Fraud categories. To enhance explainability and ranking effectiveness, a Reddit-based scoring mechanism is incorporated to assign risk scores according to the presence of suspicious characteristics and Community-inspired relevance metrics. The proposed system provides not only fraud predictions but also detailed explanations highlighting the factors that influenced each decision. A user-friendly Flask web interface enables real-time email analysis, probability visualization, and feature-based reasoning. Experimental results demonstrate that the integration of machine learning and ranking algorithms significantly improves fraud detection performance, helping users identify malicious emails more effectively and strengthening email security against evolving cyber threats.
