How to Identify Scam SMS: There are special letters like G, T, S or P hidden in the last part of the sender ID of every SMS that comes on your phone, which identify whether the message is real or fake. With the help of these codes, you can easily know which message is government, which is bank and which is just promotional spam. By knowing its true meaning you can avoid online fraud.
Fake SMS Detection Tips: Does your phone keep ringing with messages all day long? Sometimes you get an alert from the bank, sometimes about the electricity bill, and sometimes you get attractive offers of lottery and cheap loans? If yes, have you noticed that there are some special English letters written at the end of the sender ID (sender's name) of these SMS coming in your inbox? This is not random coding, but a security shield created by the government and telecom companies. If you understand the real game of these letters hidden behind the SMS coming in your phone, then even the biggest scammer will never be able to cheat you and your bank account will always be safe.
Meaning of 'G'
If you see 'G' written at the end of the header of a message, then understand that this message is completely safe and has been sent by the government. Such codes are used to provide information about government schemes, warnings from the weather department or any official notification.
Meaning of 'T'
The letter 'T' is connected to your money and banking security. Whenever you do any transaction with the bank, make payment for online shopping or receive any banking OTP on your phone, 'T' is written at the end of that message. This means transactional message. As soon as you see this, you can understand that this is the real alert of your bank or wallet and not of any fraudster.
Meaning of 'S'
In this world of smartphones, we have to take services of many types of companies. Whenever big and registered companies like Jio, Airtel, Flipkart or Amazon send you any update, recharge alert or important service message, 'S' is written behind it. This letter is proof that the company sending the message is registered with the telecom regulator and it is not a fake message.
Meaning of 'P'
'P' stands for promotional or advertising messages. You will find 'P' behind all the useless loan offers, school-college admission advertisements or marketing messages. The good thing is that you can get rid of these useless ads forever.
How to get rid of unnecessary messages?
If you are bothered by these promotional messages, it is very easy to turn them off. Jio users can activate the 'Do Not Disturb' (DND) service by going to the settings of the MyJio app. At the same time, customers of Airtel and Vodafone-Idea (Vi) can also turn on the DND setting by visiting their official apps or their website, due to which these 'P' code messages will stop coming forever.
