Online Financial Fraud

Demat/Depository Fraud

Someone pushes a fake share account, or your shares are traded or moved without you asking.

Warning signs

  1. A caller promises a sure profit on shares and asks you to install an app.

  2. They want your demat password, PAN, or an OTP.

  3. You see trades in your account that you did not place.

  4. The app or website is not the broker you already use.

A real broker does not promise a sure profit. They will not ask for your password or OTP on a call.

Practical steps for safer digital habits.

Share what happened and the warning signs you noticed. Leave out passwords, OTPs, account details, and other private information.

Community submissions are not official findings. A report alone does not prove wrongdoing.
