Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear every day.
Everything you need to know about protecting yourself from SMS scams with Arjuna.
Can Arjuna tell me if an SMS is from a scammer impersonating my bank?
No. SMS Scam Detection scans the links inside a text message for malicious or known-bad URLs — it doesn't detect impersonation or verify who actually sent the message, even if the sender ID looks like your bank's.
What does SMS Scam Detection actually check?
It scans the text of your SMS messages for links and known-bad URLs — for example, links in fake KYC-update, delivery, or bank-alert texts — and warns you before you open a risky one.
Does Arjuna protect against phone-call scams that follow a scam SMS?
No. SMS Scam Detection applies to text messages only. If a scam continues over a phone call — for example, a caller coaching a victim through a fraudulent transaction — that call itself is outside this feature's scope.
What should I do if Arjuna flags a link in a text message?
Don't open the link. If you've already entered banking details or made a payment, contact your bank immediately and file a report at cybercrime.gov.in.
