ScamCheck: India’s First Free
AI Scam Detector
Paste any suspicious message, SMS, or WhatsApp forward. Get an instant AI verdict in seconds — powered by Google Vertex AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash).
The Scam Epidemic in India
India lost over ₹11,333 crore to cyber fraud in 2023 alone, according to the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). Every day, millions of Indians receive fake KYC alerts, WhatsApp lottery messages, OTP scam calls, and phishing links designed to steal money and data.
⚠️ Did you know? Over 7,000 cyber fraud complaints are filed daily in India. Most victims didn’t realize they were being scammed until it was too late. The average victim loses ₹1.5 lakh per incident.
The problem? Most Indians have no quick way to verify if a message is real or fake. Calling the bank takes time. Searching online is unreliable. Asking friends doesn’t scale.
That’s why we built ScamCheck — India’s first free AI scam detector powered by Google Vertex AI, specifically trained on Indian fraud patterns.

- 🟡 SUSPICIOUS — Has red flags. Verify before acting.
- 🟢 SAFE — Appears legitimate based on AI analysis.
For every message, ScamCheck gives you:
- A confidence score (0–100%)
- The specific red flags it found
- What the scammer wants (money/OTP/data)
- Step-by-step action steps
- Direct link to report at cybercrime.gov.in
