RakshaLink scam guides

Scam alerts, explained without panic

Learn how common Indian scams create urgency, impersonate trusted organisations and pressure people to pay, share an OTP or install an app—and what to verify instead.

Practical warning signs and safer next steps

These guides support awareness and verification. They do not replace your bank, police, telecom provider or official cybercrime reporting channels.

Digital arrest: fake police on calls and WhatsApp

Understand the fake case, secrecy and “safe account” script—and why real authorities do not arrest people through video calls.

UPI scams: entering a PIN sends money

Recognise collect requests, fake refunds and “receive money” instructions before approving a payment.

Fake KYC expiry and account-block alerts

Verify urgent banking claims through the official app, website or number—not the link inside the message.

Fake delivery fees and seized parcels

Spot the small-fee phishing link and the more serious customs or illegal-parcel intimidation script.

QR code fraud and quishing

Know the difference between scanning a code, opening a destination and authorising a payment.

How to spot a phishing website

Look past familiar colours and logos to inspect the actual domain, spelling and request.

Fake recruiters and task scams

Separate legitimate hiring conversations from registration fees, deposit requests and quick-income schemes.

Call-forwarding codes used in scams

Why an unknown caller may ask you to dial a code—and how to verify and disable forwarding safely.

Understand mandates and recurring payments

Review recurring-debit information visible in supported bank notifications without sharing your bank login.

How RakshaLink approaches on-device detection

Why the app combines curated scam patterns with explainable checks and honest uncertainty.
