WhatsApp Fraud Protection

Forward any suspicious message, screenshot, link or QR code to ScamShield AI on WhatsApp and get a risk verdict reply in seconds. No app to install.

What you can forward and scan

Forward-to-scan any message

Forward any suspicious WhatsApp message straight to the ScamShield AI number. Plain text is checked against India fraud patterns and returned with a clear risk level, no copy-pasting into a portal.

Screenshot & QR forensics

Forwarded screenshots get image forensics plus on-image text reading, so an edited “payment successful” slip is caught. Payment QR codes, including “collect request” traps that pull money, are decoded and checked before you scan them.

Link & UPI ID checks

Forward a link or a UPI ID such as refunds@paytm-helpdesk and it is scored for lookalike bank, wallet and government-portal handles and malicious login pages that impersonate trusted brands.

Instant verdict reply

You get a reply in seconds with a risk level and a plain-English reason, so your team knows whether to trust it. Replies work in English, Hindi and Gujarati.

A real verdict, right in your chat

WhatsApp fraud protection FAQs

How do I use ScamShield AI on WhatsApp?

Save the ScamShield AI WhatsApp number to your phone, then forward any suspicious message, screenshot, link or QR code to it. You get a risk verdict reply back in seconds, with a plain-English reason. There is nothing to install and no per-number setup: you simply forward the content you are unsure about.

What can I forward to it?

You can forward plain text messages, forwarded screenshots, links and UPI IDs, and QR code images. ScamShield AI reads the on-image text, runs image forensics on screenshots, and checks links, UPI handles and QR codes, then replies with a risk level and reason.

Do you store the WhatsApp messages I forward?

No. In line with India’s DPDP Act 2023, the messages and images you forward are processed in memory and are not written to the database. Only the fraud verdict and analysis metadata are retained. The content of what you forward is not stored.

Which plans include it and is it live?

WhatsApp fraud protection is live now and is available on both the Starter and Professional plans. You can try it during a 30-day free trial with no card required. Replies work in English, Hindi and Gujarati.
