Spot the scam before it costs you
ScamShield BD checks suspicious messages — fake bKash “wrong sends”, OTP thieves, fake jobs and lottery wins — and explains the red flags in simple English and Bangla.
How it works
1. Paste the message
Copy the SMS, Messenger text or bKash notification — or upload a screenshot of it.
2. Get the verdict
ScamShield reads it and gives a risk score, the exact red flags and what the scammer is trying to do.
3. Share it safely
Read a simple Bangla explanation and pass it on to parents and grandparents before anyone sends money.
Scams we catch
These are the tricks most used in Bangladesh right now. Every one of them can be spotted with a quick check.
Fake MFS “wrong send”
Someone “sends money by mistake” to your bKash/Nagad/Rocket and pressures you to return it — the original transfer was fake.
OTP & PIN theft
Callers or SMS claiming to be from your bank ask for the OTP or PIN code. No real bank ever asks for it.
Fake job offers
Easy high-salary jobs that ask for a registration or ID-card fee before you can start working.
Lottery & prize wins
“You won a mobile or prize money!” — but you must first pay a courier or tax charge to receive it.
Phishing links
Fake websites that look like bKash, banks or courier services and steal your login details.
Impersonation & threats
Fake police, army or RAB officers threatening you, or callers pretending to be a relative in trouble.
Golden rules
- Never share your PIN, OTP or password with anyone — not even “bank officials”.
- No genuine bKash/Nagad agent will ever ask you to send money back from a “wrong transfer”. Call 16247/16167 instead.
- Real jobs never ask you to pay a fee first. Any “registration fee” is a scam.
- You cannot win a lottery you never entered. Prize claims that need an advance payment are fake.
- Do not click links in unexpected SMS or Messenger messages — type the website address yourself.
- Verify every helpline number on the provider's official website before you call or trust it.
