If seen, fraudsters keep finding new ways to cheat people. Every day they cheat people in some way or the other. Sometimes in the name of fake KYC and sometimes by giving offers or luring etc. In such situations, people lose their hard-earned money. Not only this, fraudsters are now not desisting from defrauding even those who get free ration from the government. Actually, fraudsters first lure people in the name of free ration and then cheat them. In such a situation, you need to pay special attention to some things. Otherwise you too can become a victim of fraud. So let us know what things you should keep in mind.
Pay special attention to these things:-
If you get such a call, the caller introduces himself as an officer of the Food and Logistics Department and then asks you for your confidential information (bank account number, ATM) in the name of updating banking information. Card Number and CVV). If anyone asks, never share. Keep in mind that officials of the concerned department never make such calls nor ask for any information. Avoid such calls where someone asks you for the OTP received on your mobile number. RBI says never share your OTP with anyone. Keep in mind that if you tell someone your OTP, your hard-earned money can be withdrawn from your bank account. Actually, these fraudsters call you pretending to be officials of the concerned department and then ask for OTP in the name of your ration card. Never give this to them. You may get a call that your ration card will be closed or someone’s name will be struck off. In such a situation, he may ask you for your information, but never trust this call nor share any information. If you want information about this then go to your ration dealer or go to the concerned office. Nowadays, most of the fraud seems to be done through fake links. Fraudsters send you a link and click on it and ask you to fill in your information. But be careful, because as soon as you click on these links, your mobile gets hacked and money is withdrawn from your account. Never click on such links.
