Critical Risk

UPI QR Code "Money Receive" Scam

Fraudsters send a QR code claiming they are sending money into your bank account. In reality, scanning a QR code ALWAYS deducts money from your account.

Never scan a QR code or enter your UPI PIN to receive money. UPI PIN is ONLY required for sending money.

Critical Risk

Digital Arrest / Fake Police CBI Telecall Scam

Fraudsters impersonate Police, Narcotics Bureau, or CBI officers on WhatsApp video calls claiming a parcel in your name contains drugs/illegal passports.

Police and law enforcement NEVER arrest anyone online via video call or demand money to drop charges. Hang up immediately.

Illegal Instant Loan App Extortion

Fake loan apps promise instant 5-minute loans without CIBIL check, then gain full access to your contacts/gallery to blackmail and extort borrowers.

Only borrow from RBI-registered Banks and NBFCs. Report non-registered loan apps on cybercrime.gov.in.

Fake Stock Market Telegram Group Scam

Unregistered advisory groups promise 100-300% monthly returns on stock trading, fake institutional demat accounts, and IPO allocations.

SEBI prohibits any guaranteed return promises. Verify SEBI registration of advisors at scores.gov.in.
