What to do for this type of scam

Use this if you got similar messages or may have already lost money. Check red flags first, then first-hour steps.

  • Red flags for this scam type
  • If affected — first steps
  • Official reporting channels & helplines

Red flags this scam usually shows

If a message, call, or page involves any of these, treat it as suspicious — even if it looks like the alert above.

  • Pushes you to act in a hurry

    Real organizations give you time. Threats like 'your account will be closed in 30 minutes' are designed to panic you into mistakes.

  • Asks for OTP, PIN, CVV, or password

    Banks, UPI apps, government offices, and police never ask for these. Anyone asking is trying to steal your money.

  • Sends you a link or APK to install

    Tapping unknown links or installing unverified apps can give scammers full access to your phone and bank accounts.

  • Asks for an advance, processing fee, or 'refund tax'

    Real refunds, prizes, jobs, or loans never require you to pay first. If you must pay to receive something, it is a scam.

  • Offer sounds too good to be true

    Huge cashback, guaranteed jobs, lottery wins, or sky-high returns are classic bait. If it feels unreal, it is.

Time-sensitive

If you were affected by this scam

First-hour steps — the crisis box above covers the emergency call to 1930.

  1. 1

    Stop the call or chat right now

    Hang up, leave the chat, and do not click any more links. Every extra minute is more risk. Take a breath; you are not alone in this.

  2. 2

    Block your card and freeze the account

    Call your bank's official helpline (printed on the back of your card or on the bank's website) and ask them to block the card and temporarily freeze online transactions. Do not call numbers a stranger gave you.

  3. 3

    Change passwords and revoke device access

    Change passwords for net banking, UPI apps, and email. In your UPI app, remove any 'linked devices' you do not recognize. Turn on two-factor authentication where possible.

  4. 4

    Report to the National Cyber Crime Helpline within 24 hours

    Call 1930 or file a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in. Reporting within the first 24 hours gives the best chance of freezing the money before it moves.
