How people protect themselves

Anatomy of an Attack

Fraud runs on a chain. Break one link and the whole scam falls apart. Parakh is built to break the first one.

1
The bait

A text, DM or ad lands. “Your account is locked.” “Claim your refund.” A deal too good to pass up.

Parakh: Sender links are checked against reputation and daily threat feeds before you ever tap.
2
The tap

One tap opens a link that looks legit, usually a shortened or look-alike domain.

Parakh: Redirects are unmasked, and look-alike or punycode domains are caught on the phone.
3
The cloak

The page impersonates a bank, wallet or courier, often with a fresh, valid HTTPS padlock.

Parakh: Certificate age and heuristics see through a brand-new lookalike certificate.
4
The harvest

You are asked for a password, OTP, UPI PIN or card number. This is the moment of theft.

Parakh: Known credential-trap patterns are blocked before the form can even load.
5
The cash-out

Stolen details are replayed within seconds to drain accounts or push malware.

Parakh: Break any link earlier in the chain and the scam fails. Parakh is built to break the first.

What We Are Catching

Every link is weighed against a layered intelligence stack and scored in real time. The more signals that agree, the faster a scam is stopped.

Risky categories

Safe vs risky (analysed URLs)

Every phone gets base protection that runs entirely on the device: the on-device reputation engine, look-alike and punycode detection, certificate checks, and the daily malicious-host feed. Turn on Cloud Intelligence and MAGI adds real-time malware and phishing signals, Google Safe Browsing, certificate-transparency monitoring, and the ability to safely open risky links in the cloud and see through short links. Sources refresh around the clock, so the moment a scam surfaces anywhere, every Parakh user is already a step ahead.

Included · Cloud Intelligence

Safe Detonation, in the Cloud

Scammers hide behind short links and brand-new domains. With Cloud Intelligence on, MAGI opens and inspects risky or shortened links on our servers instead of your phone, so the scam site never sees your device or your IP. It follows a short link to its real destination, adds Google Safe Browsing, and hands back a plain verdict. Only a queryless web address is ever shared, and your personal or one-time links, such as sign-in, reset and verification links, are never opened.

A live second opinion from Google

Base protection is always included and always on your phone. Cloud Intelligence comes with the same plan — it is a switch, not an upgrade — and you can turn it on or off anytime.

MAGI Remembers

A scam is never sent once. The same kit is re-hosted on a new domain, the same message is re-worded and sent again — and every list-based defence has to learn it all over again from scratch. MAGI does not. When it catches something, it keeps a mathematical fingerprint of the shape of that scam, so the next version recognises itself even on a domain nobody has ever seen and in wording nobody has ever read.

Longest a scam fingerprint can live before MAGI forgets it

What is kept is not your message. It is a string of numbers describing where the wording sits relative to other wording — there is no way back from it to the words, no person is ever shown one, and nothing safe is ever remembered at all. Fingerprints of scams, never a record of you.

Stay a step ahead

Scam Watch

The tactics hitting phones right now. A few seconds here saves a lot of regret.

SMS

Fake delivery / customs fees

“Your parcel is held, pay a small fee to release it.” Couriers do not collect fees over SMS links. Track parcels only inside the official app.

UPI

“Receive money” reversal trick

You never enter your UPI PIN to receive money. If an app asks for your PIN to accept a payment, it’s a scam.

OTP

Bank / KYC-expiry calls

Banks never ask for your OTP, PIN or CVV. Hang up and call the number printed on your card.

JOBS

Prepaid “work from home” tasks

Genuine employers don’t ask you to pay first or deposit for tasks. Upfront payment means walk away.

APK

Loan / reward app sideloads

Links pushing an .apk in chat or SMS bypass store safety checks. Install only from official app stores.

INVEST

“Guaranteed returns” groups

No legitimate investment guarantees profit. Verify SEBI / RBI registration before sending a rupee.

Protect the People You Love

Scammers only need to get lucky once. Parakh watches every link so your family never has to, on the phones of parents, kids, and everyone in between.

Built to Know as Little as Possible

Everything here is a count or a private estimate, never a profile. The sites you visit stay on your phone and never reach our servers. Checks run on your device first, and the cloud only ever adds a second opinion.

The numbers above are live. If you would rather see the day-by-day trend — including how often we got a verdict wrong and corrected it — the transparency report publishes it nightly, and the raw series is at /report.json.
