Inspiration India lost over ₹1.08 lakh crore to cyber fraud in 2023, and UPI-based scams are the fastest growing category. The problem isn't that people are careless - it's that these scams are engineered to be convincing. A message threatening account suspension looks real. A "wrong transfer" request sounds urgent. Most people have no tool to verify before they act.
I built UPI Shield because the gap between getting a suspicious message and knowing whether to trust it is where fraud happens. With ASI-1's reasoning capability, we can close that gap in under two seconds - with a plain-English verdict, the exact scam type, and exactly what to do next. No technical knowledge needed. Works in Hindi too.
What it does UPI Shield analyzes suspicious UPI messages and screenshots using ASI-1 Mini. Paste any text or upload a screenshot from WhatsApp, SMS, or a payment app. It returns:
- A verdict: Scam / Likely Scam / Suspicious / Likely Safe / Safe
- Risk level: Critical / High / Medium / Low
- Exact scam type from 13 categories
- Confidence score
- Red flags found in the message
- Specific steps to take
- Direct helpline numbers (1930, NPCI, cybercrime.gov.in) for scam cases
