FPU-SecureGuard

SecureGuard’s core job is protecting you from SMS phishing, spam calls, and risky links — on your phone, without uploading message text.

Built by Fraud Prevention Unit (FPU).

🛡️ PROTECT (FREE — UNLIMITED)
• SMS protection — flag phishing, OTP scams, and payment-fraud texts as they arrive
• Call protection — warn on suspicious and spam numbers
• Call Screening — reject numbers you block (when you grant Call Screening)
• Unknown-call wall (opt-in) — silence suspicious numbers not in Contacts and warn before you pick up. Banks and police will not ask for OTP or passwords (or UPI PIN in India). We do not record the call
• Link / URL protection — check risky links with on-device ML & PhishTank
• App install shield (opt-in) — warn when an app is installed outside Play or a known store; check Play listings that look like loan or investment apps. We read the app name and installer only — we never upload APKs
• Unlimited SMS, call, and link analysis for everyone — no daily Protect cap
• Block numbers and senders from your alert inbox
• Works with the app closed after you allow SMS / phone access

✅ CHECK HUB ON PROTECT (FREE)
One row — Check a chat, ad, or link — opens Am I being scammed? (Link scan, AI Verifier, and Brand check)

• WhatsApp: long-press → Share → SecureGuard
• Chrome or ads: Share the page or link (open-with still scans http/https in a popup)
• Screenshot the ad or chat, then Share or upload
• We scan any links (safe ≠ threat), check the message, and offer a brand check when the text looks like an app or company name
→ Message / brand checks: 50/day each fair use · no paywall · SecureGuard does not declare any entity a scam

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
Fraud checks run on your device. We do not upload SMS or call content. Improve detection is on by default and may send anonymous feature labels only — never message text. Turn it off anytime in Protect.

SecureGuard is a safety tool — not legal or police advice. If you have lost money or are in danger, use the official helpline in the app or contact local police immediately.
