Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear every day.
Everything you need to know about protecting yourself from WhatsApp scams with Arjuna.
Can Arjuna detect a WhatsApp scam that happens entirely over a call?
No. WhatsApp Scam Detection scans messages for malicious links and file/APK attachments — it doesn't screen voice or video call content and can't verify who is calling. A scam conducted entirely over a WhatsApp call, with no link or file ever sent, is outside what this feature can catch.
What kinds of WhatsApp scams does Arjuna check for?
Arjuna checks links and file or APK attachments shared in WhatsApp messages against known phishing and fraud signals before you open them — including fake banking, government, or investment apps sent as installer files, and malicious redirect links.
Can Arjuna tell me if a WhatsApp contact is impersonating someone?
No. Arjuna checks the safety of a link or attachment, not the identity of whoever sent it. It can't confirm whether a contact, company, or official account is genuinely who it claims to be.
What should I do if Arjuna flags a WhatsApp link or file as suspicious?
Don't open the link or install the file. If you've already shared banking details or made a payment, contact your bank immediately and file a report at cybercrime.gov.in.
