FAQ

Scam checker questions before you paste

Is Scam Scan checker an official government or bank tool?

No. Scam Scan (ScamScan.in) is independent and not a government, police, bank, wallet, platform, or recovery service. Use it to organize risk signals and next steps, then verify payment, complaint, account, and recovery action through official routes.

What should I not paste into the scam checker?

Do not paste live OTP, UPI PIN, CVV, full passwords, private keys, recovery codes, or unnecessary identity documents. Remove private details when they are not needed for the risk check.

Can the checker confirm a payment arrived?

No. Confirm payment only in your own bank, UPI, wallet, or card history. A screenshot or UTR in chat is not enough proof by itself.

What should I do if the result looks risky?

Pause the action, save proof, verify through the official route, and contact bank/wallet, 1930, cybercrime.gov.in, police, cyber cell, or platform support if money or account access is affected.

Where should I go after a risky Scam Scan result?

If the scan looks risky, pause the action, save proof, and move to the right official route. Use bank or wallet support plus 1930 if money moved, use account recovery if login access changed, and use cybercrime.gov.in, police, cyber cell, or platform support for formal follow-up.
