title：How to Stop Spam & Fraud Calls in India (Proven App Trick)

content：Why Spam & Fraud Calls Are a Critical Threat in India

Have you ever received a random call asking for your OTP or bank details? Many Indians fall victim to such spam and fraud calls, sharing personal info that leads to empty bank accounts. A friend of the video creator recently faced this—an unknown number tricked him into revealing details, almost costing him money. To help you avoid this, the video shares a powerful app trick to identify and block these calls. After analyzing this video, I’ll walk you through the steps to set up the app and add extra safety tips.

According to TRAI’s 2023 report, Indians receive over 3 billion spam calls monthly, with fraud calls accounting for 15% of these. These calls often impersonate bank officials or government agencies, tricking people into sharing sensitive info like OTPs or account numbers. The video’s example of a friend’s near-miss highlights how easy it is to fall for these scams if you’re not careful.

The video recommends a specific app to block spam and fraud calls. Here’s how to set it up:

Download and Verify Your Number

First, download the app from the link provided in the video description. It works on all Android devices. Open the app and click “Get Started”. You’ll need to verify your phone number via OTP—this is essential for the app to track incoming calls.

Enable Required Permissions

The app requires permissions like background running and call access to function properly. Don’t skip these—without them, the app can’t block or identify spam calls. Make sure to toggle on all the permissions the app asks for.

Use the Free Basic Plan

The app offers a free basic plan that covers core features like spam call identification and blocking. You don’t need to pay for premium unless you want advanced features like ad-free usage or more detailed call analytics. The free version is sufficient for most users.

One easily overlooked detail is enabling background run—this ensures the app works even when it’s not open, so you don’t miss any spam calls.

While the app is helpful, combining it with other practices boosts your safety. Here are three key tips:

Don’t Share Sensitive Info

Never share OTPs, bank account details, or personal info over calls, even if the caller claims to be from a trusted institution. Legitimate organizations never ask for OTPs or passwords over the phone.

Activate TRAI’s DND Service

Use TRAI’s DND (Do Not Disturb) service to reduce spam calls. You can activate it by sending an SMS to 1909 with the message “START DND”. This will stop most unsolicited calls and SMS.

Report Fraud Calls

If you receive a fraud call, report it to TRAI immediately via their website or app. This helps TRAI track and take action against spam callers.

Not mentioned in the video—using this app alongside your phone’s built-in call blocking feature (like Google’s Phone app) creates a double layer of protection against spam calls.
