Online Fraud & Financial Scams
Online fraud has become one of the fastest-growing cyber threats in India. Every day, people lose money to fake calls, phishing links, investment scams, OTP frauds, and social-engineering tricks. The purpose of this page is to help you understand how these scams work, how to identify early warning signs, and what to do if you ever fall victim to one.
What Is Online Financial Fraud?
Fraudsters often pretend to be:
- Bank Representatives
- Customer Care Executives
- Government Officers
- Delivery Agents
- Online Sellers or Buyers
- Investment Advisors
Their goal is simple: gain your trust, force a quick decision, and steal your money.
Common Types of Online Financial Scams
1. Phishing Scams
Scammers send fake emails, SMS, or WhatsApp messages that look like they’re from your bank or a trusted company. These messages usually contain urgent warnings or clickable links that steal your login details.
Red flag: Links asking you to “update KYC” or “verify your account immediately.”
2. UPI & OTP Fraud
Fraudsters ask you to share an OTP or click “collect request” on your UPI app. Once you approve, money is debited instantly.
Important:
No bank or legitimate company ever asks for your OTP.
3. Fake Customer Care Numbers
When users search for support numbers online, scammers put fake numbers on websites. They pretend to help, but instead they install screen-sharing apps or ask for sensitive details.
4. Online Shopping & Marketplace Scams
Fraudsters create fake shopping sites or pretend to be buyers/sellers on OLX, Facebook Marketplace, etc. They use fake payment screenshots or ask you to scan a QR code to receive money (which actually deducts money).
5. Investment & Trading Scams
You may see high-return investment ads on social media promising “guaranteed profits.” These scams lure victims into sending money to fraudulent accounts or downloading fake trading apps.
6. Loan & Job Scams
Victims are asked to pay “processing fees,” “registration charges,” or “security deposits” for a job or loan that doesn’t actually exist.
How to Identify an Online Scam
Most financial scams share similar warning signs:
-
Pressure to act immediately
-
Requests for OTP, PIN, CVV
-
Payment links from unknown sources
-
Unverified apps or websites
-
Too-good-to-be-true offers
-
Grammar mistakes or suspicious URLs
If something feels off, trust your instincts and pause.
