Protection from digital arrest and OTP scams
ShieldCall warns you at the moment a scam is happening: on the call, when the OTP arrives, and before you open the link.
Scams in India follow a pattern. A caller claims to be from the police, the CBI, customs, TRAI or a courier company, keeps you on the line, and pushes you to share a code or send money.
ShieldCall watches for those moments and puts a clear warning on your screen. All of this protection is free.

Questions and answers
What is a digital arrest scam?
A caller pretends to be a police or government officer, says you are under investigation, and keeps you on a long call until you pay. No real agency arrests anyone over a phone or video call.
Does ShieldCall read my OTPs?
The check happens on your phone. SMS content and OTPs are never uploaded.
Is scam protection really free?
Yes. OTP guard, the digital-arrest alert, the link checker and the weekly safety report are on the Free plan.
Can I set it up for my parents?
Yes. Install ShieldCall on their Android phone and turn on the protection switches. The warnings are shown in eight languages.
