If you think something is a scam, do these 4 things first

If a caller, recruiter, or seller creates urgency, treat that urgency itself as a warning sign. Scammers win by preventing people from slowing down.

Never call back on the number sent in the suspicious message. Use the official website, your previous records, or a known branch number.

Screenshots, transaction IDs, account numbers, voice notes, call logs, and website links should be saved before the scammer deletes them.

For cyber-payment fraud, the first minutes matter. Use 1930 and cybercrime.gov.in immediately, then follow up with your bank and local police.

Emergency Action

1. Call `1930` immediately for cyber financial fraud.
2. File a complaint at `cybercrime.gov.in` with transaction proof.
3. Notify your bank or wallet provider and request a freeze or reversal attempt.
4. Save screenshots, numbers, UPI IDs, account numbers, and chat exports before they vanish.
