Online Fraud is a Serious and Growing Problem in India
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs Annual Report, India recorded over 1.5 million cybercrime complaints in a single year a number that has grown by 113% since UPI payments became mainstream. The NCRB estimates that less than 3% of all cyber fraud victims successfully recover their lost funds, largely because they wait too long to report or don't know what to check.
The shift to digital payments, while transformative for financial inclusion, has created an enormous attack surface. In 2023 alone, UPI-related fraud accounted for over ₹2,145 crore in direct losses. Phone scams including fake KYC calls, digital arrest threats, and task-based job fraud cost Indians another ₹7,000+ crore. Fake websites and phishing links account for the remainder.
What makes the Indian fraud landscape uniquely dangerous is the speed of operations. A scam phone number can be active for as little as 6 hours before being discarded. A fake UPI ID can collect hundreds of small payments in a morning and vanish by afternoon. A phishing website mimicking HDFC Bank or IRCTC can be spun up in under 30 minutes using template kits sold for ₹500 on Telegram.
Traditional consumer defences haven't kept pace. You can't rely on a phone number being "known" to your contacts app. You can't tell a fake UPI ID like paytm.care@paytm from a real one at a glance. You can't distinguish hdfc-bank-support.in from the real HDFC Bank website without checking domain registration dates, SSL certificates, and blacklist databases.
RakshaAI was built specifically to close this gap. We aggregate data from sources that no individual can check manually TRAI telecom records, cybercrime.gov.in FIR data, NCRB reports, community submissions, and our own AI trained on millions of Indian fraud patterns and surface it in a single, 5-second check. Every Indian deserves the same fraud intelligence that used to be available only to banks and law enforcement.

Why Smart People Still Fall for Scams
Fraud doesn't succeed because victims are careless. It succeeds because scammers are highly trained psychologists who exploit universal cognitive shortcuts. Understanding these tactics is the single best defence.
How they use it: "Your UPI account will be blocked in 2 hours verify NOW" or "A warrant has been issued in your name. Call immediately."
Your defence: Legitimate banks and government agencies never threaten to cut services over a phone call. Take 60 seconds to check the number or UPI ID on RakshaAI before reacting.
How they use it: Scammers pose as TRAI officers, CBI agents, RBI officials, Income Tax departments, or Amazon/Flipkart customer support.
Your defence: Call the official number of the institution from its official website never call back a number that called you. Check the number on RakshaAI first.
How they use it: "Earn ₹5,000 per day liking YouTube videos" or "Your KBC lottery prize of ₹25 lakhs is ready pay ₹2,000 processing fee"
Your defence: No legitimate job or prize requires an upfront payment or demands bank credentials. Verify the company's website for age and domain legitimacy.
How they use it: Fake e-commerce sites show fabricated 5-star reviews. Investment scam groups on WhatsApp post fake withdrawal screenshots to build credibility.
Your defence: Check the domain age scam sites are almost always less than 6 months old. Paste the URL into RakshaAI's website checker to see registration details.
How they use it: Romance scammers spend weeks or months building emotional trust before asking for money. Task scam operators pay small amounts initially to establish credibility.
Your defence: If someone you've never met in person asks you to transfer money or invest even after weeks of conversation treat it as a red flag and verify independently.
How they use it: "Don't tell your family about this investment they'll be jealous" or "This is a confidential police operation; you must not speak to anyone."
Your defence: Any instruction to keep a financial transaction secret from family is an immediate scam indicator. Involve a trusted person and check everything on RakshaAI before proceeding.

What Your Fraud Risk Score Means
Every check returns a risk score from 0 to 10 and a colour-coded verdict. Here's exactly what each tier means and what action to take.
What it means
No fraud reports found in any of our 6 data sources. The domain/number/UPI ID has a clean history across community reports, government databases, TRAI, and our AI models.
What to do
You may proceed with normal caution. Continue using good digital hygiene practices never share OTPs, never send money to someone you have not verified in person, and keep an eye on your bank statements.
Important caveat
A clean score does not mean zero risk. A brand-new scam will have no history by definition. Always verify the purpose of a payment or call independently.
What it means
Some suspicious signals detected. This could mean a small number of reports, recent registration, patterns matching known fraud scripts, or a telecom operator flagging the number for complaints but not enough evidence to definitively classify as fraud.
What to do
Do not share financial information or transfer money until you have independently verified the identity of the contact or website. Call the organisation back on their official number. For a website, check the 'About Us' and 'Contact' pages for physically verifiable information.
Important caveat
Moderate risk results are the most important to act on many people ignore yellow warnings and later regret it. When in doubt, don't.
What it means
Multiple strong fraud signals present. Multiple community reports, confirmed cybercrime.gov.in entries, domain registered through anonymous registrars within 30 days, TRAI complaint flags, or AI patterns matching known active fraud campaigns.
What to do
Stop all interaction immediately. Do not call back, do not click any links, do not scan any QR codes, and do not transfer any money. Report the number/UPI/URL from our results page to help protect other users. If you have already transacted, call 1930 right now.
Important caveat
If this was an expected message from a business you use regularly, contact that business directly through their official website it's possible their number has been spoofed by a fraudster.
Before You Pay, Click, or Call Check These 10 Things
Even without running a tool, these 10 manual checks take under 2 minutes and catch the majority of fraud attempts. Combine them with a RakshaAI check for maximum protection.
Did you initiate the contact?
If a call, message, or email came to you unsolicited, apply 10× more scrutiny. Legitimate banks, government agencies, and employers rarely initiate contact out of nowhere to demand action.
Is there artificial time pressure?
Phrases like "act within 2 hours", "your account will be frozen today", or "limited slots" are almost always manipulation tactics. Real institutions allow you time to verify.
Does the UPI ID match the payee name?
Always read the confirmed payee name on your UPI app before accepting a payment request or sending money. If "Priya from Amazon" has a UPI ID of random123@ybl, something is wrong.
How old is the website?
Scam websites are almost always registered in the last 1–6 months. Our checker shows domain age automatically. Avoid any site claiming to be an established company but registered this year.
Is there a valid SSL certificate?
The padlock icon in your browser means the connection is encrypted but not that the site is safe. Fraudsters get SSL for free on fake sites too. SSL is necessary but not sufficient.
Does the URL match the real domain exactly?
Check character by character: hdfcbank-login.com vs hdfcbank.com, paytm-support.in vs paytm.com, irctc-refund.net vs irctc.co.in. A single extra word or different TLD (.in vs .com) is a red flag.
Are you being asked for an OTP or PIN?
No bank, RBI, NPCI, income tax department, or legitimate company will ever ask for your UPI PIN, OTP, CVV, or ATM PIN. Anyone who does is a fraudster, unconditionally.
Is payment being requested via 'collect request' first?
A collect request (receive/incoming UPI request) that you did not initiate always means someone is asking you to send them money not receive. Do not approve collect requests from strangers.
Can you verify offline?
Can you call back on an official number found on the company's official website? Can you visit the physical address? Legitimate businesses and government departments have verifiable physical presence.
Has someone asked you to keep this secret?
Secrecy is the scammer's most powerful tool. Any instruction to hide the conversation or transaction from family members or friends is an immediate, unambiguous fraud indicator.

Teach Your Family to Check Before They Click
Fraud disproportionately targets people who are less familiar with digital payments senior citizens, first-time UPI users, and students. The most powerful thing you can do is share this tool and teach three simple habits.
Habit 1: Check Before You Pay
Before approving any UPI collect request or transferring money to a new person, take 10 seconds to paste the UPI ID into RakshaAI. This single habit prevents the majority of UPI fraud. Bookmark this page on your parents' and grandparents' phones and set it as a shortcut on their home screens.
Habit 2: Check Before You Call Back
India's most effective phone scams work because victims call back unknown numbers. If you miss a call from an unknown number and receive a 'call me back immediately' SMS, paste the number into RakshaAI before returning the call. Senior citizens especially should follow this habit for any number they don't recognise.
Habit 3: Check Before You Click
Phishing links arrive via SMS (OTP frauds, parcel delivery scams), WhatsApp (fake bank alerts, lottery wins), and email (fake income tax/GST notices). Before opening any unfamiliar link, copy the URL into RakshaAI's website checker. This is especially important for links that ask you to 'complete KYC' or 'validate your account'.
Who Is Most at Risk?
Senior Citizens (60+)
Targeted by KYC scams, digital arrest, fake pension/insurance calls. Less likely to recognise new scam formats. Highest average financial loss per victim.
First-time UPI Users
Unfamiliar with collect request vs send distinctions. Targeted heavily in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities as UPI adoption expands to new areas.
Job Seekers & Students
Targeted by fake job offers, work-from-home task scams, and scholarship frauds. Often manipulated into paying 'registration fees' upfront.
Social Media Users
Targeted by investment scam Telegram groups, romance scams on Instagram/Facebook, and fake customer service accounts on Twitter/X.
