Truecaller Launches ‘Scamfeed’ to Help Users Detect and Report Digital Scams

Introduction: Taking a Stand Against Digital Fraud

As online scams become increasingly complex and widespread, Truecaller has introduced a new feature called Scamfeed — a first-of-its-kind user-powered tool designed to help people stay informed, report suspicious activity, and contribute to a safer digital environment.

This new feature reflects Truecaller’s continued focus on enhancing user security through community-led tools and real-time scam tracking.

What is Scamfeed?

Scamfeed is an in-app platform that allows Truecaller users to:

• Report scams and fraud attempts they've experienced

• Read verified alerts about new and ongoing scams

• Discuss trends and share prevention tips within the community

Users can post anonymously and share supporting visuals such as screenshots or voice clips, helping others recognize similar threats. Each entry is logged in a public feed, giving users instant access to real-time scam reports happening across the country.

Why This Matters: Power in Community Awareness

The launch of Scamfeed aims to shift digital safety from reactive to proactive.
By encouraging users to share their experiences, Truecaller is building a system where fraudulent behavior can be tracked and flagged before it spreads widely.

This crowd-sourced reporting method could help reduce the impact of phishing attempts, impersonation calls, fake prize scams, and more — especially in areas where scam awareness is still low.

Quote from Truecaller Leadership

Tonmoy Goswami, who leads new product initiatives at Truecaller, commented on the feature:

“With Scamfeed, we’re empowering users to protect one another. This is about turning everyday experiences into shared knowledge — so that one person’s alert becomes everyone’s advantage.”

The company believes that giving people a platform to report scams freely and in real time can prevent many others from falling into the same trap.

Where Is It Available?

Scamfeed has launched in India first, given the country’s large Truecaller user base and the high frequency of scam activity.
It is expected to expand into more regions in the future, aligning with Truecaller's global mission to promote safer communication.

Conclusion: A Smarter Way to Stay Safe Online

Scamfeed is more than just a feature — it’s a community-powered defense system against fraud.
By tapping into the collective vigilance of millions, Truecaller is helping users stay a step ahead of scammers and reclaim control over their digital communication.

As more people contribute, Scamfeed will become an even stronger tool to fight scams before they spread.
