Truecaller Launches Scam Checker Tool to Identify Suspicious Links and Numbers
Truecaller has launched Scam Checker, a new tool available online and as an Android app in India, designed to help users identify potential scams by verifying suspicious links, phone numbers, and messages. The service combines Truecaller's detection technology with community reports, allowing users to check for phishing attempts and view scam reports shared by others. Users can also report suspicious activity in their own words. An iOS version is planned for future release.
