Scams don't beat you on intelligence. They beat you on pressure.
He has your name, a badge number and a case file open in front of him. None of that is hard to fake.
You have eleven minutes before the warrant is executed. The panic isn't a side effect. It's the product.
It's a confidential investigation, ma'am, don't discuss it with your family. Alone, there's nobody to talk you out of it.
This is why knowing about scams doesn't protect you from them.
One tap when an unknown number rings. Kavach joins quietly and listens. The caller never knows it's there.
Not the words — the shape. Authority, then panic, then isolation, then the ask. However politely it's wrapped, and however long they take to get there.
Spoken, in the language you think in, while there's still time to put the phone down. Not a notification you'll read tomorrow.
A real digital arrest script, and where Kavach cuts in.
Ma'am, Sub-Inspector Deshmukh here, Cyber Crime Cell, Mumbai.
A parcel in your name was intercepted at the airport. Passports, and 200 grams of a banned substance.
This is now a sub judice matter. You are not permitted to discuss it with your family.
Please move to a private room and stay on video call until the verification transfer clears.
यह एक digital arrest scam है। पुलिस कभी वीडियो कॉल पर गिरफ़्तार नहीं करती। कोई पैसा मत भेजिए, फ़ोन काट दीजिए।
"This is a digital arrest scam. The police never arrest anyone over a video call. Don't send money. Hang up."
Every scam call is a ladder. Kavach cuts in before the last rung.
English is the language you do business in. Under pressure, everybody goes home.

More on the way.
Kavach follows the stranger's side of the call. Your side is yours.
Your bank, your family's names, the numbers you actually use — Kavach keeps these to check a caller's story against, and they are never sent off your phone during a call.
It does not sit in the background waiting. There's no always-on microphone in this product.
We're opening early access in small batches so we can actually talk to the first people who use it. Tell us a little and we'll be in touch.
