Truecaller’s new Scamfeed feature lets users report and discuss scams in real-time, helping the community stay alert, share experiences, and prevent online fraud together.
Truecaller has introduced a new feature called Scamfeed, which is aimed at helping users stay one step ahead of scammers. Now live in India, Scamfeed works like a real-time alert system built into the app. It allows people to report, discuss, and stay updated on the latest scam tactics – from phishing texts and impersonation calls to online fraud. The goal is simple – learn from others’ experiences and avoid falling for the same traps.
What is Scamfeed and How Does It Work?
Truecaller Scamfeed works as an early warning system powered by users. If someone receives a suspicious call or message, they can post about it on Scamfeed. Others can then check these posts, see if they’ve encountered something similar, and learn what to watch out for. It’s all about real stories, shared in real time, to help the community stay informed and cautious.
Users can post anonymously and add images or screenshots to back their claims. Scamfeed also allows threaded comments, so discussions stay organised, and scam reports can be shared directly on WhatsApp or other platforms, making it even easier to spread the word.

Powered by a Growing Community
According to Tonmoy Goswami, Product Director of New Initiatives at Truecaller, Scamfeed uses the strength of India’s massive Truecaller user base to build a stronger defence against fraud. “Scamfeed harnesses the collective vigilance,” he said. “By providing a safe space to share real experiences and warnings, we empower people to stay ahead of fraudsters, learn from each other, and ultimately protect themselves and their loved ones.”
More Than Just Alerts
Scamfeed isn’t only about real-time updates. Truecaller has also set up a dedicated webpage (www.truecaller.com/scam-alert) where users can find practical advice on identifying, avoiding, and reporting scams. It’s a one-stop resource for anyone looking to stay safe online.
