Online Financial Fraud

Fraud Call/Vishing

A phone call pretends to be the bank, the police, or a government office. They push you to pay or to share a code.

How Scam Works?

This chat is made up. It shows how the trick usually sounds. It is not a real message. Do not reply, and do not send money.

Demonstration

Phone call

Number shown as a bank helpline

  1. Scam message

    A case is open in your name. Stay on this call. I am sending a code. Read it so we can cancel the case.

  2. What you might say

    I will visit the police station.

  3. Scam message

    If you hang up, the case goes ahead. Do not talk to your family. Read the code now.

The police do not arrest you on a phone call. A bank does not ask for your OTP.

  1. 01

    The caller sounds official

    They may use a background of an office, a badge, or words like CBI, customs, or KYC.

  2. 02

    They do not let you think

    The problem is already “done”. You have minutes. Leaving the call is treated like a crime.

  3. 03

    The payment or the code is the scam

    Hang up. Call 1930 if you already shared a code or sent money. Use the number on your card if you want your bank.
