SCREEN SHARING SCAMS
How Screen Sharing Scams Work
A scammer does not necessarily need your password to see what you are doing on your phone. They may first try to convince you to give them access to your screen.
1. The Fake Support Call
A fraudster may pretend to be from a bank, delivery company, marketplace, telecom provider or technical-support team and claim that your account needs immediate attention.
2. The Remote Access Request
The scammer may ask you to install a remote-access or screen-sharing application and provide instructions for starting a session.
3. Your Screen Becomes Visible
During an active session, information visible on your screen may be exposed to the person controlling or viewing the remote connection.
4. Stop If You Didn't Start It
If you did not intentionally start screen sharing or recording, stop the session, close the remote-access application and review the apps installed on your device.
STAY SAFE
What to Do If Someone Asks to Share Your Screen
A legitimate support representative should not need unrestricted access to your phone just to help with a routine issue.
Stop and verify
End the conversation and contact the organization using an official number or website.
Don't install unknown apps
Avoid installing remote-access applications because an unknown caller tells you to do so.
Never share OTPs
Never reveal OTPs, passwords, PINs or banking credentials to a caller or remote-support agent.
End unwanted sessions
If you accidentally started a remote session, terminate it and review the application and permissions involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Screen Sharing Scam Questions
Learn how screen sharing scams work and how Arjuna helps you stay aware of suspicious screen activity.
What is a screen sharing scam?
A screen sharing scam happens when a fraudster convinces you to install or use a remote-access or screen-sharing application. The scammer may then attempt to view your screen while you use banking, payment or other sensitive applications.
How do scammers use screen sharing to steal OTPs?
If your screen is being shared or recorded while you enter an OTP, password or other sensitive information, someone viewing that screen may be able to see it. This is why you should never allow an unknown person to remotely access your phone.
How can I tell if someone is viewing my phone screen?
Depending on the Android version and application being used, screen sharing or recording may produce a system notification or visual indicator. Arjuna can help detect supported screen casting and recording activity and alert you when suspicious activity is identified.
Can screen recording apps capture my OTP?
A screen recording or screen-sharing application that has the required permissions may be able to capture information displayed on your screen. Avoid entering sensitive information while an unknown remote-access or recording session is active.
Who is targeted by screen sharing scams?
Screen sharing scams can target anyone. Fraudsters commonly use fake customer support, banking, delivery, investment or technical-support stories to persuade victims to install remote-access applications.
Can Arjuna detect screen sharing on Android?
Arjuna's screen mirroring protection is designed for supported Android devices and helps identify screen casting or recording activity. When supported activity is detected, Arjuna can alert you so you can investigate and take action.
