Online Financial Fraud
Aadhar Enabled Payment System (AEPS)
Money leaves your bank account through an Aadhaar cash withdrawal you did not make.
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
At a small shop
Agent offering a cashback
Scam message
Put your finger here to get the ₹500 cashback. It is only a check. No money will leave.
What you might say
Why does a cashback need my fingerprint?
Scam message
The offer ends today. Everyone is doing it. Do not worry about the SMS.
Do not put your finger on a machine for a stranger. A refund does not need your fingerprint.
- 01
They get your Aadhaar and fingerprint
It can happen at a shop, with a story about a benefit, a refund, or a mistake they will fix.
- 02
Cash is taken out in your name
The withdrawal can happen at a banking point. You may not be there.
- 03
You see it on an SMS
The bank message is the warning. Call your bank and 1930 as soon as you see money you did not take out.
