ScamShield Nepal¶
Real-time SMS scam protection, built for Nepal — and built to respect your privacy.
ScamShield Nepal runs quietly in the background on your Android phone. Every time a text message arrives, it's screened automatically — most of the time, entirely on your device, without ever touching the internet.
Status: Closed Beta
ScamShield Nepal is currently live with a small group of closed testers. Thanks for trying it out — your feedback shapes what ships next.
What ScamShield looks for¶
Nepal sees a steady stream of SMS scams that impersonate trusted brands and services, including:
- eSewa, Khalti — fake "KYC verification" or "account suspended" links
- Nepal Telecom (NTC), Ncell — fake recharge offers and balance scams
- Nabil Bank, NIC Asia Bank, Global IME Bank — fake security alerts
- Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) — fake unpaid-bill threats
- IRD Nepal — fake tax/refund notices
- Generic OTP harvesting, fake KYC links, customs/parcel fraud, and fake loan offers
ScamShield checks every incoming message against patterns like these — in Nepali (Devanagari script), English, and Romanised Nepali.
