This report, based on data, explains how spam and fraud are transforming communication in India and how technology helps protect millions of people every day. Fraudulent calls are often made in the name of banks, government officials, payment platforms, and well-known brands.

Spam messaging remains a major concern, with a significant increase in the second half of 2025. Community reporting and Truecaller's blocking tools prevented 11.89 billion calls from reaching users. Let's now tell you what things to keep in mind to avoid scammers.

What to do to avoid scams?
If anyone calls you about banking, KYC updates, or tells you that your account has been suspended, disconnect the call immediately.
Avoid answering calls or messages flagged as spam or suspicious.
Do not share information such as OTP, PIN, password, Aadhaar, PAN, or bank details with strangers.
Do not make the mistake of clicking on unknown links or downloading apps through APKs.
