Online Financial Fraud

Aadhar Enabled Payment System (AEPS)

Money leaves your bank account through an Aadhaar cash withdrawal you did not make.

Warning signs

  1. A shop or agent asks for your fingerprint for a cashback, a refund, or a survey.

  2. They want your Aadhaar number even though you are not taking money out.

  3. You get a bank SMS for a withdrawal you did not do.

  4. The person rushes you and does not let you read the screen.

Do not put your finger on a machine for a stranger. A refund does not need your fingerprint.
