HOW IT WORKS
Three things, very simple.
Checks messages and links
Share an SMS with the app, or paste the text, and see in plain language what makes it suspicious.
You decide
Mark numbers as “I trust” or “It's fraud”. Your decision always overrides the app.
WHAT THE APP NOTICES
The signs scammers leave behind.
Rings briefly and hangs up
The trick to make you call back. The app notices calls that ring for only a few seconds.
Calls again right away
The same number several times in a few minutes, or different numbers calling one after another.
Calls in the early hours
Between midnight and six in the morning, from a number you don't know.
A link pretending to be a bank
Addresses that imitate banks, the post office, couriers or phone operators, but are not the official site.
Hidden addresses
Shortened links, endings used in scams and addresses made only of numbers.
Pressure and requests for codes
“Account blocked”, short deadlines, requests for codes or to “validate in the app”. No bank does this.
PRIVACY FIRST
Nothing leaves your phone.
The app doesn't even have permission to access the Internet. What it stores stays in your phone's private storage and deletes itself after 30 days. We, InforAlvelos, never have access to your data, and the texts you check are not saved.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Nice and simple.
When can I download it?
The app is being prepared and will soon be on Google Play. The “Google Play” button on this page will become the link to the store as soon as the app is published.
How much does it cost?
It is a paid app with a one-time payment, with no subscriptions and no ads. The price is shown on the app's Google Play page.
Does it need Internet?
No. The analysis is done on the phone itself and the app doesn't even have permission to access the Internet.
Does the app read my messages?
It doesn't read your messages by itself. When you get a suspicious SMS, you share the text with the app, or paste it on the “Check” screen, and it analyses it. The text is not saved.
Do banks send links by SMS?
According to warnings from CGD, Millennium bcp, Novo Banco and Montepio, they don't. And none of them asks for codes to “cancel” transactions. The app uses this rule and warns you when an SMS that mentions a bank contains a link.
Does the app see WhatsApp, Meet or other apps' calls?
No. The app warns about normal phone calls, the ones that go through the mobile network. Calls made through other apps (WhatsApp, Meet, Telegram and similar) don't go through Android's filter, so the app doesn't see them or warn about them. For those, use the block and report options of the app itself.
Can the app be wrong?
Yes. It warns based on how a call behaves and on the text, and it never guarantees that something is safe. If in doubt, hang up and call the organisation's official number.
Does it detect voices imitated by artificial intelligence?
No. So be wary of urgent requests for money or codes, even if the voice sounds familiar.
Which phones does it work on?
On phones running Android 10 or later.
Protect yourself before the next phone call.
