Types of Scams We Detect
Comprehensive fraud detection covering all major scam types in India from UPI fraud to phishing links and digital arrest scams.
UPI Fraud Detection

Major fraud type
Digital Arrest Scams
Fraudsters impersonate CBI, Narcotics Control Bureau, ED, or Supreme Court officials over video calls to 'digitally arrest' victims and extort 'bail fees'. These highly orchestrated scams have extracted thousands of crore from professionals, retirees, and students across India. Never engage hang up and call the real agency's published number.
High-value threat
Fake E-commerce Websites
Cloned shopping sites offer iPhones, electronics, and clothing at 60โ80% discounts to harvest card details and advance payments. These sites mimic Flipkart, Amazon, and Myntra layouts and disappear after collecting orders. Always verify any unfamiliar shopping URL on RakshaAI before entering payment details.
Fastest growing
Investment & Trading Scams
WhatsApp groups fronting SEBI analysts, fake stock trading apps promising guaranteed returns, and pig-butchering crypto platforms are among India's fastest-growing fraud types. Victims typically lose โน10โ50 lakh. Verify any investment platform at SEBI's official portal before depositing a single rupee.
Rapidly growing
Task-Based Job Scams
Part-time job offers on WhatsApp promise โน5,000โโน15,000 daily for liking YouTube videos or completing simple tasks. After victims earn small test payouts, they are pressured into depositing โน10,000โโน2,00,000 for 'premium tasks' and never see the money again. These scams spread via Telegram and Instagram as well.
WhatsApp epidemic
Phishing & Fake Links
Malicious links delivered via SMS, email, and WhatsApp impersonate IRCTC, banks, NHAI, and government portals to steal login credentials or install APK malware. A single click can give attackers access to your bank account. Paste any suspicious link into RakshaAI's website checker before opening it.
Most common
Romance & Dating Scams
Fraudsters spend weeks or months building emotional relationships on Facebook, Instagram, and matrimonial apps before requesting money for medical emergencies, visa fees, or investment opportunities. India reported a 68% rise in romance fraud cases in 2024. Always independently verify someone's identity before transferring any money.
Growing threat
Fake Loan Apps
Unlicensed loan apps charge 200โ500% effective annual interest, harvest your entire phone contact list on install, and blackmail defaulters by sending doctored images to family and colleagues. Verify any loan app against the RBI's registered NBFC list at rbi.org.in before applying.
83% increase
Phone & SMS Scams
Calls impersonating TRAI, banks, UIDAI, courier companies, and government departments account for millions of fraud attempts daily. Common scripts include 'your SIM will be disconnected', 'a parcel with narcotics in your name', and 'your Aadhaar is linked to a crime'. Always hang up and verify through official channels never act on an incoming call.
Daily occurrences
Cryptocurrency Scams
Fake crypto exchanges, Ponzi schemes disguised as DeFi staking platforms, and task-based 'crypto mining' apps promise 5โ15% daily returns. Most are controlled from overseas and funds are unrecoverable once transferred. Report any suspicious crypto platform or wallet address to RakshaAI to protect other Indians.

How to Stay Safe from Online Scams
Simple rules that protect you from 90% of fraud attempts
Never Share OTP
Your OTP is a one-time password that authenticates only you. No legitimate bank, UPI app, UIDAI, or government department will ever call or message you asking for it. If someone asks for your OTP, it is always a scam hang up immediately.
Don't Rush Decisions
Scammers deliberately create panic and urgency 'your account will be blocked in 10 minutes', 'act now or face arrest'. Legitimate banks and government agencies never rush you into instant decisions. Take a breath, end the call, and verify independently.
Check Before Clicking
Before clicking any link received via SMS, WhatsApp, or email, paste it into RakshaAI's free website checker at rakshaai.co. Phishing links often use subtle typos like 'amaz0n.in' or 'sbi-secure.net'. A 5-second check can save your savings.
Verify Caller Identity
If you get an unexpected call from your 'bank', 'police', or 'government agency', hang up and call back on the official number published on their website or the back of your card. Never use a number given by the caller it could be a forwarded scam line.
Money Only Goes Out (UPI rule)
UPI collect requests always send money out of your account you never receive money by approving one. Scammers send fake 'refund' or 'cashback' collect requests. Approve a collect request only when you are consciously paying someone you fully trust.
Use Official Apps Only
Download banking, UPI, and investment apps only from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and only from the official publisher listed by your bank. Fake apps harvested over 10 crore data records from Indian users in 2024 alone.
Protect Family Members
Elderly relatives and teenagers are the most targeted demographics for scam calls and fake job offers. Share the 1930 cybercrime helpline number with your family and teach them one rule: never share OTPs, PINs, or Aadhaar details over phone or WhatsApp.
Report Suspicious Activity
Reporting scams at RakshaAI, on 1930, or at cybercrime.gov.in protects thousands of other Indians who might encounter the same phone number, UPI ID, or website. Every report strengthens the shared intelligence network and makes future fraud harder to execute.
Every 2 Minutes, an Indian Falls Victim to Online Fraud
India reported 15 lakh+ cybercrime complaints in 2025 alone through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (I4C, Ministry of Home Affairs). Most victims never recover their money. One free 5-second check on RakshaAI could prevent this from happening to you or your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about online scams in India, how RakshaAI detects fraud, and what to do if you get scammed.
Yes, completely free forever. Checking websites, UPI IDs, and phone numbers costs nothing no charges, no credit cards, no premium tier. RakshaAI is funded by our business verification and badge program, which means individual users will always check for free.
We cross-reference multiple threat intelligence databases, community-reported fraud data, and India-specific cybercrime patterns simultaneously. Our detection catches the vast majority of known scam infrastructure. That said, no tool catches every scam always apply your own judgment for high-value transactions, especially if something feels rushed or too good to be true.
No account, no registration, no email required. Every check is completely anonymous. We don't store what you searched or link results to your identity in any way.
Global tools like VirusTotal are built for Western markets and miss India-specific fraud patterns entirely UPI ID fraud, digital arrest impersonation, fake IRCTC portals, and Hindi-language phishing pages. RakshaAI is trained on Indian fraud data and reports, making it far more relevant for the types of scams Indians actually face.
The most common UPI fraud patterns are: fake collect requests disguised as 'cashback' or 'refund' (approving sends money out, not in), QR code scams where scanning initiates a payment rather than receiving one, and impersonation of banks or NPCI asking to 'verify' your UPI PIN. The golden rule: UPI can never be used to receive money by approving a collect request you only ever send money that way.
A digital arrest scam is when fraudsters call or video-call you while impersonating CBI, Narcotics Control Bureau, Enforcement Directorate, or Supreme Court officials. They claim you are implicated in a crime involving your Aadhaar, bank account, or a parcel in your name, then demand 'bail money' or 'security deposits' to avoid arrest. These calls are entirely fake no Indian law enforcement agency conducts video-call arrests or demands payment. Hang up immediately.
Act immediately time is critical for recovery. 1) Call Cybercrime Helpline 1930 right now (free, 24/
2).
3) Call your bank to request a transaction hold.
4) File a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in.
5) Change your UPI PIN and mobile banking password.
6) Report the scammer's phone number or UPI ID on RakshaAI to protect other Indians. Complaints filed within one hour have the highest chance of transaction reversal.
Don't panic act quickly. Close the tab immediately. If the site asked you to log in, change that account's password right now. If you downloaded a file or APK, do not open it and delete it immediately. Run a malware scan if possible. If you entered any banking details, call your bank to flag the card or account. Report the URL to RakshaAI so others are warned.
Yes. RakshaAI does not store, sell, or share the numbers or IDs you check. Your queries are processed in real time and not linked to your identity. We never contact you after a search, and we don't build marketing profiles from search data. Privacy is a core principle of how the platform is built.
Fake job scams typically arrive via WhatsApp from unknown numbers. Red flags include: payment required to 'unlock premium tasks', vague job descriptions involving liking social media posts or watching videos, requests for Aadhaar or bank details upfront, and guaranteed daily earnings that seem unrealistically high. No legitimate employer asks you to pay money to start working.
The most common pattern is 'pig butchering': scammers befriend you on WhatsApp, Telegram, or dating apps over weeks, then invite you to a fake investment platform that shows impressive fake returns. You're allowed to withdraw small amounts early to build trust, then pressured to invest large sums. When you try to withdraw, the platform disappears or demands 'tax clearance fees'. Always verify investment platforms at SEBI.gov.in and never invest based on unsolicited social media tips.
Use the 'Report Scam' button on any page to submit a phone number, UPI ID, or website URL that you believe is fraudulent. Your report is reviewed and, if verified, added to our database to warn other users. You can also call 1930 and file at cybercrime.gov.in for formal government action. Every report you submit directly protects other Indians.
Yes. RakshaAI offers a business verification program for legitimate Indian businesses. Verified businesses receive a trust badge displayed whenever their website, UPI ID, or phone number is checked by any user. This helps honest businesses build credibility and directly reduces fraud in their name. Visit our business verification page to apply.
