About this site

Why you can trust this

RISX exists so that anyone in India — not just bankers, investigators, or fraud teams — can understand what’s being reported as a scam right now and what to do about it. Here’s exactly how the site works.

Where the alerts come from

Each alert summarises a publicly reported incident: news stories, official advisories from regulators (RBI, SEBI, Department of Telecommunications), police press releases, and verified posts from official social handles. We do not collect alerts from anonymous tips and we do not write fictional examples.

Where possible, every alert links back to its original source so you can check it yourself. If a source is missing, treat the alert as suggestive and not as confirmation.

How alerts are written

Source material is rephrased into plain language so a regular reader can act on it. We aim to keep the meaning intact, remove jargon, and point out red flags. We don’t add accusations that the source did not make and we don’t claim that a particular person or company is definitely a fraudster.

What this site is not

  • It is not a real-time blocklist. A number, link, or UPI ID not appearing here does not mean it is safe.
  • It is not legal advice or a substitute for filing a formal complaint at cybercrime.gov.in or by calling 1930.
  • It is not affiliated with any bank, regulator, or law-enforcement agency. We just summarise what is already public.
  • It does not collect your personal details. The lookup tool keeps what you type on your device and compares it to alerts your browser loads from this site — we do not log your search text as a separate upload.

Conflicts of interest

RISX shows ads to keep the site free. We do not accept payment to include or exclude any alert, brand, channel, or reporting body. The official reporting numbers and websites we point to are not paid placements.

If you spot a mistake

If an alert is inaccurate, out of date, or unfair to a person or business, please email researchers@kncok.com with the alert link and what should be corrected. We review corrections quickly and update or remove alerts when warranted.

Our promise

Help people understand scams in plain language, point them to official help, and never pretend to know more than we actually do. That’s it.
