RakshaLink: Scam Detector

RakshaLink

About this app

RakshaLink is a 100% on-device scam detector for WhatsApp, SMS and Telegram, built especially for India. It helps you detect parcel scams, KYC/bank fraud, UPI & QR tricks, phishing links, digital-arrest threats, fake job offers and risky APKs — before you tap.

All scanning happens offline on your phone.
No ads. No registration. No data upload.

🛡️ What RakshaLink protects you from

• Parcel / delivery scams
Fake tracking links, customs-fee scams, courier fraud (FedEx, Blue Dart, generic “courier pending” messages).

• KYC / bank update phishing
Fake RBI/bank reminders, account freeze alerts, “update KYC now” links, fraudulent support numbers.

• UPI & QR payment scams
Suspicious UPI handles, “receive money” scams, QR code tampering and payment links from unknown sources.

• Digital-arrest impersonation
Fake “police/court/legal case” messages, video-call threats, caller ID spoofing patterns used in digital-arrest scams.

• Risky WhatsApp/Telegram APKs
Malicious or suspicious APKs shared in chats, including loan apps, spyware and screen recorder traps.

🔍 How it works (100% on-device)

RakshaLink analyzes notification previews from WhatsApp, SMS and Telegram to spot scam patterns before you open the message.

It can:

• Expand short links and check if the real destination looks risky
• Detect look-alike domains used in phishing (like govt/bank clones)
• Flag urgent-tone fraud (“verify now”, “last warning”, “legal case”)
• Highlight messages containing APK files, payment links, UPI IDs or QR codes
• Assign risk levels so you know when to be extra careful

Your chats and personal data are never uploaded to any server.
Everything runs locally on your device.
