THE GOLDEN RULE
PIN = money going OUT. Anyone asking for your PIN "to send you money" is a scammer.
SAFETY
SCAM #1
A fake buyer sends a UPI collect request and says it will credit money to you.
✔ STAY SAFE
If the screen says Pay or asks for your PIN, money is leaving you. Decline.
SAFETY
SCAM #2
You get a QR code for a prize, refund or payment.
✔ STAY SAFE
Scanning a QR code is for paying — never for receiving.
SAFETY
SCAM #3
You call a "helpline" found online. The agent asks for your PIN, OTP or to install an app.
✔ STAY SAFE
Use numbers from the official app or website only. Real staff never ask for your PIN.
SAFETY
SCAM #4
A screen-sharing app lets the scammer watch you type your PIN and OTP.
✔ STAY SAFE
Never install an app because a caller asked. Delete it and change your PIN.
