Scam Warning - e-KYC Ke Naam Pe Fraud Bahut Ho Raha Hai!

Real Cases from Bihar:

Bhagalpur Case (March 2026): Do cyber criminals pakde gaye jo PM Kisan scheme ke naam pe e-KYC ka bahana banakar ₹6.33 lakh ki thagi kar chuke the। Ye log ghar ghar jaake "free e-KYC" ka offer dete the aur bank details le lete the।

Patna Rural Case: Fake camps lagakar fingerprint aur iris scan collect kiye ja rahe the। Baad mein ye biometric data use karke fake bank accounts khole gaye aur fraud kiya gaya।

Red Flags - Ye Dekho Toh Samajh Jao FRAUD Hai:

Scam Type	Warning
"₹50-100 fees lagega e-KYC ka"	FRAUD - e-KYC 100% FREE hai
"Ghar aake karwa denge"	FRAUD - Khud FPS pe jaao ya app use karo
"Bank details do verification ke liye"	FRAUD - e-KYC mein bank details nahi maangte
"OTP batao complete karne ke liye"	FRAUD - OTP kabhi kisi ko mat batao
"Aadhar card de do photocopy ke liye"	FRAUD - Original dikhao, dena mat
WhatsApp pe "official" e-KYC link	FRAUD - Sirf official app use karo

Safe Rehne Ke Liye:

• Sirf official apps use karo (Mera eKYC, Aadhaar FaceRD)
• Sirf government FPS pe jaao
• Kisi ko OTP mat batao
• Kisi ko paisa mat do - e-KYC FREE hai
• Bank details kabhi mat do
