Fills the field — press Check to run the lookup.
If any of these apply to the message you received, treat it as suspicious.
Pushes you to act in a hurry
Real organizations give you time. Threats like 'your account will be closed in 30 minutes' are designed to panic you into mistakes.
Asks for OTP, PIN, CVV, or password
Banks, UPI apps, government offices, and police never ask for these. Anyone asking is trying to steal your money.
Sends you a link or APK to install
Tapping unknown links or installing unverified apps can give scammers full access to your phone and bank accounts.
Comes from an unusual or unofficial number
Check the sender ID carefully. Misspelled brand names, random 10-digit numbers, or international numbers are common scam signs.
Asks for an advance, processing fee, or 'refund tax'
Real refunds, prizes, jobs, or loans never require you to pay first. If you must pay to receive something, it is a scam.
