Questions
Is what I paste sent to OurShield?
No. The check runs in your browser. The text you paste is not sent to any server, not saved and not logged.
Does a green result mean a message is safe?
No. Green only means no warning signs were found here. A brand-new scam can score green. If a message asks for money, a PIN or a code, stop and ask someone you trust.
What should I do if I already lost money?
Call 1930 (the national cyber fraud helpline) at once and tell your bank. Keep the messages and screenshots as evidence, then report at cybercrime.gov.in.
