Cashless transactions have increased since demonetisation. Now most people transact directly from UPI itself. Whether to pay college fees or pay bills after eating food, UPI is being used everywhere. All from students to professionals are doing transactions through UPI. Because of this, cyber criminals also keep an eye on UPI. They wait for the smallest mistakes of the people. As soon as there is a mistake, they immediately vacate the account of the people. Therefore, it is important to take care of many things while using UPI.
Do not tell unknown person UPI PIN
Never tell your UPI PIN to any unknown person in phone calls or elsewhere. As soon as you do this, you give them direct access to your bank account. Also keep in mind that no bank officer will ever ask you the PIN number of UPI for any work. If someone is asking for PIN number by calling himself a bank or government official, then it should be careful.
Pay attention to pay request
Pay request option is available in UPI. Usually, after choosing UPI mode on e-commerce platforms, these companies send requests. After doing these, payment is made. If you get a request from an unknown person or site, then reject it.
Take care while scanning QR
Every QR code would not have been engaged to take payment. Many times fraudster fake QR code and implicate people in their web. Therefore, take care while scanning the QR code in public places. If you are having a little doubt anywhere, then pay other ways instead of QR code there.
Use official apps
Always use official apps for transactions or other works. Never download any app from the link from an unknown person in some greed. The app downloaded from such links can steal your important information and password.
