Check it yourself

The warning signs to look for in each kind of message.

SMS & WhatsApp messages

  • Is it from an official sender ID or a random number?
  • Does it create urgency or fear?
  • Does it ask for a PIN, OTP or payment?

Phone numbers & calls

  • Hang up and call back on an official number.
  • Be wary of callers who already 'know' your details.
  • No genuine institution asks for your OTP.

Emails

  • Check the sender's full address, not just the name.
  • Hover over links to see the real destination.
  • Be cautious with unexpected attachments.

Links & websites

  • Look for misspellings in the domain.
  • Type known addresses yourself instead of tapping links.
  • A padlock alone doesn't mean a site is legitimate.

Screenshots & images

  • Payment 'proofs' can be edited — check your actual balance.
  • Reverse-search photos used by sellers or profiles.
  • Look for inconsistent fonts or logos.

Checked as they arrive

With the ScamProtect app, every SMS and call is rated from 1 (safe) to 5 (scam) the moment it reaches your phone, with the reasons. Results are guidance, not a guarantee.
