Get RakshaAI for iOS and AndroidThe changing threat
AI is making digital impersonation, phishing and fraud faster and more convincing. Visual polish alone can no longer establish trust.
Copied branding, polished design and HTTPS can make a newly created phishing site appear as trustworthy as the real service.
Scammers can reproduce company letterheads, recruiter profiles and interview processes before asking for money or sensitive documents.
Small edits to names, dates, amounts or identity details are often difficult to notice through visual inspection alone.
Spoofed accounts and AI-generated text or media can make an urgent request appear to come from a colleague, brand or family member.
The question is no longer only, “Is this secure?”
It is, “Can I trust this?”
RakshaAI Intelligence Platform
RakshaAI is being developed as a shared intelligence layer for different moments of digital trust. Capabilities available today are clearly separated from areas that are still being developed.
Examine a website beyond its appearance. RakshaAI brings together URL structure, domain history, infrastructure, phishing indicators, impersonation patterns and available threat intelligence to explain potential risk.
Review uploaded offer letters, identity documents and financial documents for available visual, textual and metadata signals. The result highlights inconsistencies or suspicious edits that deserve closer verification.
Planned analysis will help users examine suspicious WhatsApp, SMS and email conversations for pressure tactics, impersonation cues, unsafe links and other social-engineering patterns.
This developing layer is intended to combine available entity, fraud, transaction-context and behavioural signals when a business needs additional support for a higher-risk decision.
Carry RakshaAI in your pocket for the moments when an unfamiliar link, caller or payment ID needs a second look. The app brings everyday scam checks and community reporting into one simple mobile experience.
Check suspicious websites, phone numbers and UPI IDs directly from your phone before you click, respond or pay.
See an easy-to-understand assessment with the available warning signals and practical next steps.
Report suspicious websites, fraudulent phone numbers and risky UPI IDs so reviewers can examine them.
RakshaAI Trust Engine
A single padlock, blacklist result or visual cue cannot explain the full risk. The RakshaAI Trust Engine combines the signals available for each input and turns them into a more understandable assessment.
Technical and content-level evidence helps reveal risk that a professional-looking webpage may hide.
Multiple document characteristics are reviewed together to surface inconsistencies that need human attention.
Current observations are compared with available threat context and reviewed historical patterns.

Comprehensive fraud detection covering all major scam types in India from UPI fraud to phishing links and digital arrest scams.
Fake UPI collect requests and bank impersonation trick Indians into approving fraudulent payments. Common patterns include 'cashback refund' collect requests, fake payment screenshots, and QR code scams. RakshaAI checks UPI IDs against reported fraud databases so you know before you send.
Major fraud type
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
Cloned shopping sites offer iPhones, electronics, and clothing at 60–80% 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
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 ₹10–50 lakh. Verify any investment platform at SEBI's official portal before depositing a single rupee.
Rapidly growing
Part-time job offers on WhatsApp promise ₹5,000–₹15,000 daily for liking YouTube videos or completing simple tasks. After victims earn small test payouts, they are pressured into depositing ₹10,000–₹2,00,000 for 'premium tasks' and never see the money again. These scams spread via Telegram and Instagram as well.
WhatsApp epidemic
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
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
Unlicensed loan apps charge 200–500% 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
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
Fake crypto exchanges, Ponzi schemes disguised as DeFi staking platforms, and task-based 'crypto mining' apps promise 5–15% 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.
High risk
An India-first, explainable intelligence layer designed to support trust decisions across products and workflows.
RakshaAI is designed around the payment systems, communication channels, languages and fraud patterns Indian users encounter. This context helps explain risks such as UPI abuse, fake government portals, digital-arrest impersonation and local employment scams more meaningfully.
Fraud rarely stays inside one channel. RakshaAI currently brings website and document checks into one trust platform and is expanding toward suspicious messages and other digital surfaces, so related evidence can eventually be considered together.
A blacklist can miss a newly created scam, while one technical warning can misclassify a legitimate service. RakshaAI combines the signals available at the time of a check with relevant context to support a more balanced, current assessment.
Users and review teams need to understand why something appears risky. RakshaAI is designed to present contributing signals, limitations and practical next actions instead of returning an unexplained safe-or-scam verdict.
Trust intelligence is most useful when it appears inside the workflow where a decision is being made. RakshaAI is developing API access for approved business use cases, with integration scope and controls documented before broader availability.
Reviewed reports and verified outcomes can reveal emerging patterns and gaps in existing detection. The objective is to improve future intelligence through better evidence and evaluation while applying moderation, privacy safeguards and testing before changes affect users.
A connected trust landscape
RakshaAI connects these trust decisions.
The goal is not to replace every specialist security product. It is to help people and workflows combine relevant signals at the moment a trust decision must be made.
Practical habits that reduce common online scam risks
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common questions about online scams in India, how RakshaAI detects fraud, and what to do if you get scammed.
Yes. Individuals can currently run supported website, UPI ID, phone number and document checks without a paid subscription. Business verification and future enterprise services may be paid separately.
RakshaAI evaluates available signals such as domain information, threat intelligence and community-reported fraud context. Coverage varies by input, and no automated tool catches every scam. Treat the result as decision support and verify high-value decisions independently.
Yes. A free RakshaAI user account and secure login are required before running a website, UPI ID, phone number, or document check.
RakshaAI focuses on scam patterns and digital behaviours relevant to Indian users, including UPI fraud, digital-arrest impersonation and fake government or commercial portals. Different security tools serve different purposes, so RakshaAI should complement rather than replace specialist security products.
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.
