Spots the scam before you do.
Real banks, billers and government offices in India send SMS from registered DLT headers — never from a 10-digit mobile number. ShareSMS uses that simple fact to catch the fakes.
The tell-tale mismatch
A message claiming to be from your bank, the electricity board or “customs” — but arriving from an ordinary mobile number — is flagged as likely scam and labelled, so you think twice before tapping that link.
- Fake KYC / account-expiry
- Electricity “disconnection tonight” threats
- “Parcel held at customs” & fake-challan scams
- Runs entirely on your phone — no message content uploaded
Sender trust, built in
ShareSMS reads the TRAI sender category (Promotional / Service / Transactional / Government) and the operator prefix to give each sender a trust level — and you can build rules on it, e.g. “sender trust = danger → label Scam, mute”.
Google’s own scam detection is rolling out slowly and English-first — ShareSMS is built for Indian fraud in Hindi, Hinglish and regional patterns.
