WhatsApp Scam Checker

Most WhatsApp scams start with a familiar-looking message and one rushed request: click, pay, install, or share a code. Send it to Kaval and get a plain answer before anyone in the family acts on it.

Coverage

What Kaval can help check

Built for forwards, screenshots, links, and voice notes

A risky WhatsApp message is rarely just text. It may be a shortened link, a fake bank screenshot, a copied news claim, or a voice note telling everyone to act quickly. Kaval reads the item in context instead of treating every forward the same way.

Useful for families and older relatives

The safest response is often a simple pause. Forward the message, get the risk pattern, and share a calm explanation with the person who received it.

Focused on action, not just labels

A scam verdict is only useful when it tells you what to do next. The answer separates "do not click," "verify in the official app," "call your bank," "report this," and "safe to ignore."

Workflow

How the check works

  1. 01

    Forward the item

    Send Kaval the exact WhatsApp text, screenshot, image, voice note, or link.

  2. 02

    Risk pattern is identified

    Kaval checks for known scam scripts, unsafe link signals, payment pressure, and impersonation cues.

  3. 03

    Evidence is summarized

    The answer explains which signal matters and whether the message matches a common fraud pattern.

  4. 04

    You get the next move

    Kaval tells you whether to ignore, verify elsewhere, block, secure accounts, or report the incident.

Answers

Common questions

Can Kaval check a WhatsApp forward without me opening the link?

Yes. You can paste or forward the message and URL. Kaval can inspect the link and surrounding message signals before you click it.

What should I do if a WhatsApp message asks for OTP or UPI PIN?

Treat it as dangerous. Do not share OTPs or UPI PINs with anyone. Use the official bank, wallet, or app support channel if you need to verify the issue.

Can I use Kaval for my parents or relatives?

Yes. Kaval is useful when a family member is unsure whether a message, call script, screenshot, or payment request is safe.
