NewsVoir Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 29: Truecaller, the world's leading global communication platform, is thrilled to unveil Scamfeed, a powerful new feature designed to connect users in the fight against digital fraud through the strength of shared experience. Embedded directly within the Truecaller app, Scamfeed is a dynamic user-generated content stream where users can report, discuss, and stay informed about the latest scams as they unfold.

Users can post anonymously if they like and engage through threaded comments, rich media, and seamless sharing to external platforms like WhatsApp. It's the fastest, most authentic source for real-time scam updates powered entirely by the community.

Truecaller launches new ‘Scamfeed' feature designed to crowdsource scam alerts
Truecaller has introduced a new feature called Scamfeed, where users can report, discuss, and stay informed about the latest scams and evolving scam tactics. The user-powered feed will act as an early warning system, helping others recognise and avoid similar scams, the company said in a press release on April 29, 2025. Scamfeed is now live in India and will be rolled out globally in the coming months. It is directly available within the Truecaller app. According to Truecaller, users can post anonymously on Scamfeed if they prefer. They can also attach images, screenshots, and videos to their posts. In addition, users can also comment, ask questions, and share posts from Scamfeed to other platforms like WhatsApp. 'The power of community is key in fighting scams. Scamfeed uses the knowledge and experiences of our users in India to create a safer space for everyone. By learning from each other, people can stay one step ahead of fraudsters,' Tonmoy Goswami, Product Director of New Initiatives at Truecaller, said. This new offering is aimed at transforming Truecaller into a real-time scam alert tool. Users can quickly check Scamfeed to see if a phone number has been reported by others, and find out what signs to look for in a possible scam, as per the company. In March this year, Truecaller launched a new AI-powered tool called 'Max' that helps detect and block spam. The feature is currently available within the Android version of the app for Truecaller premium subscribers, and it works by blocking calls that are not from your list of approved contacts. Truecaller has been around since 2009, when it was introduced on all platforms, including iOS. 'At the time, there was no native support for Caller ID on iOS. What we were doing was a workaround through which we were providing some sort of spam detection. Over the years, we continued to use different workarounds to provide the same value users expected from Truecaller. The expectation was simple: if I get a spam call, please let me know or block it for me,' Nakul Kabra, product director-iOS at Truecaller, told in an interview earlier this month.
