Not every SMS that comes to mobile these days is trustworthy.
Sometimes the sender looks like “ICICIT”, “HDFCBK”, “SBIINB”, and we believe that it really came from the bank.
In fact, many
fraud SMS come disguised in this way.
Here is the biggest mistake people make:
Believing that the message is genuine just because the sender name is visible.
This belief is wrong - and dangerous too.
Why not trust SMS Sender Name?
It's very easy to spoof an SMS sender ID these days. Fraudsters use legitimate-looking names to:
Sends false links
Requests OTP or personal details
Creates panic by using the name of the bank or government
Unless the user has correct information about the sender, the decision is blind.
What is the problem here?
Your phone doesn't tell you this:
Which company or bank is this SMS actually from?
Is this sender verified or not?
Is there any fraud reports against this sender before?
So the user guesses. Guessing + money = disaster.
Solution: How does TrueSender help?
TrueSender solves the problem at the root level.
As soon as TrueSender SMS arrives:
Shows the sender's verified brand name
Clearly marks unknown or suspicious senders
You instantly know whether to trust the message or not
There are no assumptions here, just data.
ICICIT vs ICICI Bank - Why is the difference important?
“ICICI Bank” may be an officially verified sender
but a sender ID like “ICICIT”:
Could be a typo
might be a fake brand impersonation
TrueSender detects this difference immediately. The user does not have to decode it.
The right way to avoid SMS fraud
This is straight forward:
Ignoring SMS is not the solution
Opening every SMS is not the solution
Verifying the sender is the solution
And it is practically not possible to do that verification manually.
Smart Choice for SMS Fraud Prevention
If you:
Receive banking alerts
Use delivery, recharge, government services
Or simply want to keep your data and money secure
So Fraud prevention for SMS is not an optional feature - it is a basic necessity.
Bottom Line
If you still trust SMS by looking at the sender name,
then you are taking a risk knowingly.
Install TrueSender
Stop guessing.
Decode every sender - before trusting.
