OTP Scam Alert: Scammers Drain Accounts Posing as Delivery Boys, Bank Officers
•OTP scam incidents are rapidly increasing in India, with fraudsters emptying bank accounts.
•Scammers pose as delivery boys, customer service, or bank officials to trick victims into revealing OTPs.
•They claim packages need verification, orders are canceled for refunds, or accounts need KYC updates.
•Banks never ask for OTPs, PINs, or passwords over the phone; sharing OTPs authorizes fraudulent transactions.
•Never share OTPs with anyone, verify caller ID, avoid rushing, use official apps, and report suspicious activity immediately to 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in.
