CALL 1930 Get Help Now → 1930

Important safety notices: The first 2–3 hours after a scam are critical — act immediately before scammers move your funds. Never call back unknown numbers, never pay anyone to "recover" your money, and do not search for helplines on Google — scammers run fake helpline ads.

Prevention Is the Best Rescue

Share these with family — especially parents, first-time smartphone users, and anyone who uses UPI. One tip shared can prevent the next scam.

Never Share OTP — Ever

No bank, government body, UPI app or delivery service will ever ask for your OTP over a call or message. If anyone asks, hang up immediately and block the number.

Never Install Remote Apps

AnyDesk, TeamViewer, QuickSupport — these give scammers complete control of your phone. No legitimate bank or tech support uses them. Refuse any such request instantly.

"Digital Arrest" Is Not Real

CBI, ED, police, customs — no government agency arrests you over a video call or demands you stay "locked" on screen. This is 100% a scam script. Hang up and call 1930.

Lock Your Aadhaar Biometrics

Visit myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in to lock your biometric authentication. This prevents fraudsters from taking loans or opening accounts in your name — takes under 2 minutes.

Job Offers Need No Upfront Fee

Part-time job scams, task-based earning schemes, and Telegram "investment" groups all follow the same pattern — small early payouts, then a request to deposit money. Always a scam.

Always Verify Helpline Numbers

Scammers buy ads so their fake numbers appear first on Google. Never call a helpline found in a search result — always go directly to the bank's official website or use the number on your card.

📤 Protect Someone You Love
Share This Guide With Your Family

Most scam victims are approached through someone they trust. One share on WhatsApp can prevent your parents, siblings or friends from becoming the next victim.

Share on WhatsApp

Most at risk: seniors unfamiliar with UPI, first-time smartphone users, job-seekers on Telegram/Instagram, and anyone who received an unexpected "prize" or "KYC update" message.
