How do I check if a phone number or link is linked to fraud in India?

Paste the number, UPI ID, link, or message into RISX Check. Results show how the clue lines up with fraud intelligence indexed from Indian public reporting. It is not a bank blocklist or guarantee of safety.

Can RISX tell me if a message is definitely a scam?

RISX surfaces patterns from indexed public fraud intelligence — it cannot confirm every message. If you already lost money or shared OTPs, call 1930 immediately and report at cybercrime.gov.in.

What sources does RISX use for fraud checks?

RISX by Kncok draws from online financial fraud reported in Indian national media and official channels, structured into searchable intelligence. See methodology and trust pages for sources and limits.

HOW RISX WORKS

How RISX works

Phase 1
We index publicly reported online financial fraud from Indian national media, regulator advisories, and official channels.
Phase 2
Each alert is structured into plain-language intelligence — what happened, who was affected, risk indicators, and source links when available.
Phase 3
Check clues, explore patterns and geography, and review trends — research, analytics, and education in one public platform.

Public risk intelligence from open reporting — not a bank helpline or real-time blocklist.

Common red flags

If any of these apply to the message you received, treat it as suspicious.

Pushes you to act in a hurry
Real organizations give you time. Threats like 'your account will be closed in 30 minutes' are designed to panic you into mistakes.
Asks for OTP, PIN, CVV, or password
Banks, UPI apps, government offices, and police never ask for these. Anyone asking is trying to steal your money.
Sends you a link or APK to install
Tapping unknown links or installing unverified apps can give scammers full access to your phone and bank accounts.
Comes from an unusual or unofficial number
Check the sender ID carefully. Misspelled brand names, random 10-digit numbers, or international numbers are common scam signs.
Asks for an advance, processing fee, or 'refund tax'
Real refunds, prizes, jobs, or loans never require you to pay first. If you must pay to receive something, it is a scam.
