Aaj ke time me Digital India ke fayde toh bahut hai, lekin online scams bhi utni hi tezi se badh rahe hain. Roz naye tarike nikal rahe hai fraudsters ke — aur unka naya target hai aap jaise normal log.
Toh chalo, BeFojji Organisation Trust ke through hum batate hain India ke top scams aur unse bachne ke asli tarike!
⚠️ 1. UPI Scam
Bhaiya, yeh sabse common scam hai! Koi aapko Google Pay, PhonePe link bhejta hai — keh ke “money receive karoge” — lekin jab click karte ho, paise chale jaate hain.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- Kabhi kisi unknown link pe click mat karo.
- “Request money” option ka misuse hota hai — ignore karo.
🎣 2. Phishing Emails & Messages
Aapko ek mail ya SMS aata hai — “Your bank account is blocked!” — aur link kehta hai “click to verify”.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- Official banks kabhi aise messages nahi bhejte.
- URL verify karo — agar spelling galat hai toh fraud hai.
💼 3. Fake Job Offers
“Get job in MNC, Pay ₹500 registration” — yeh sab fake job rackets ka hissa hota hai.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- Real companies kabhi bhi paise nahi maangti hiring ke liye.
- Verify karo job site aur recruiter ki details.
🎁 4. Lottery & Gift Fraud
“Congratulations! You’ve won ₹25 Lakh in KBC” — bhaiya yeh scam hai, Amitabh Bachchan ka number nahi hai yeh.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- Agar aapne kabhi participate hi nahi kiya, toh prize kaise mila?
📱 5. Fake Customer Care Numbers
Google pe kuch bhi search kiya — toh top pe ek fraud helpline number milta hai. Call karte hi remote access le lete hain.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- Official website se hi number lo.
- Kabhi kisi ko screen share ya OTP mat do.
🏦 6. KYC Update Scam
“Your SIM will be blocked in 24 hours, update KYC now!” — aise messages me link hota hai jo aapka data chura leta hai.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- KYC update ke liye hamesha official store pe jao.
💳 7. Credit Card Fraud
Aapko call aata hai — “Sir, aapka card upgrade ho gaya hai, OTP batayein” — and boom, paisa gayab.
✅ Safe Kaise Rahe?
- Kabhi bhi OTP kisi ke saath share na karein.
- Call pe kabhi personal banking info mat do.
