Home Guard
The house has more doors than the phone.
Children are online from an age when nobody has taught them to be suspicious yet. And the router in the corner has had the same password since the engineer installed it. Home Guard deals with both, and most of it costs nothing.
Children and teenagers
The five scams that are aimed at your child, not at you.
Free diamonds and coins
A stranger offers free in-game currency, then needs "just the OTP" to deliver it. Children give it because the request sounds technical and the reward is immediate.
The video call that is recorded
A friendly stranger, a short video call, and then a demand for money. Teenagers pay and keep paying because they are terrified of their parents finding out. Telling you is the only thing that ends it.
Fake scholarship forms
A form that asks for Aadhaar, bank details and a small "registration fee" for a scholarship that does not exist.
Talent-hunt auditions
An audition for a show or a modelling shortlist, with a fee to confirm the slot, and sometimes a request for photographs.
The stranger who becomes a friend
Weeks of ordinary conversation on a game or a social app, and then a request — for money, for pictures, or to keep a secret.
Alerts, not spying
With consent, Pehra can tell you that something risky happened — not what your child typed, read or looked at. India's data protection law caps this at event-level alerts, and we think that is the right cap.
Safety Setup
Five walkthroughs. All free. All in the app.
No app can block another app's camera or shut off your wifi — anybody claiming otherwise is selling you something. What we can do is walk you through the protections your phone and your router already have, one screen at a time, in Hindi or English.
Lock the phone against fake apps
Switch off installation from unknown sources, turn on Play Protect, and check which apps were installed from outside the store.
The camera and microphone check-up
See every app that can reach your camera and microphone, and switch off the ones that have no business there.
Screen-sharing apps are the real danger
AnyDesk, TeamViewer and their lookalikes are how most "customer care" frauds actually empty an account. We show you how to spot one being installed and remove it.
The children's setup
Family Link on Android, Screen Time on an iPhone, step by step, plus the one setting most parents miss.
Make your voice and face harder to copy
Private profiles, not posting your children's voices publicly, and never saying "yes" to an unknown caller — because that single word can be cut out and reused.
The safe word
One word a cloned voice can never know.
A fake voice of your son asking for money is now cheap to make and genuinely convincing. There is no honest app that can detect one mid-call — not ours, and not a laboratory's. So Pehra does something better: it helps your family agree a safe word, stored only on the phone, and gives you four questions a fake cannot answer.
Ask the safe word
The one thing that was never written down or sent in a message.
Ask something not on the internet
What we ate at your sister's wedding. No model has that.
On video, ask them to turn sideways
Fully side-on, and wave a hand across the face. Fakes break there.
Hang up and call back
On the number you already have saved. Never the one that called.
