Scam SMS is turning into a very prevalent phenomenon in India. They come in the form of an SMS from banks, delivery organizations, or government agencies—but in reality, they could be fraud attempts trying to trick you into opening malicious links or disclosing confidential data.

TrueSender shields you from these attacks by verifying the sender and alerting you to phishing links with embedded AI. With TrueSender, you stay in the know, in control, and protected from SMS-based scams—without compromising your privacy.

How Sender Verification Works

Companies in India must register their SMS sender IDs with the TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) and the telephony operators before sending transactional or bulk SMS messages. Registration entails:

• The official name of the sending party
• The registered address of the business
• Service area and service provider (circle/state)
• The purpose of message sending

TrueSender is linked to this authenticated directory to retrieve and show these details for registered sender IDs. Hence, when you get a message from a sender such as "VM-HDFCBK", TrueSender assists you in recognizing that it is from HDFC Bank, which is working via Vodafone in Maharashtra, and registered to send bank-related OTPs.

This level of openness allows you to:

• Determine whether a message is really from a known business
• Recognize the source of the message without breaking sender codes
• Identify rogue or unregistered senders who may be trying to impersonate legitimate businesses

Especially useful when handling money messages, delivery status, or any SMS asking you to do something.

Blocking Malicious Links Using AI

Every SMS scam contains a malicious or misleading link. It may look like a payment gateway or a bank login page, but a single tap could redirect to a phishing webpage or malware.

TrueSender uses on-board AI to scan and check links in all SMS messages that you receive. The system checks for:

• Phishing websites which mimic legitimate websites
• Short URLs that conceal the true destination
• Patterns and terms used in phishing attacks
• Recent scam templates surfacing throughout the TrueSender network

If the AI does find something suspicious, TrueSender indicates the message and alerts you—stopping you in your tracks before you click. But it never blocks or disables the links. You are always in control of your messages.

And the beauty is that it all occurs locally on your phone and not in the cloud. Your messages are never stored or even uploaded anywhere, so you are completely private.
