Warning Signs

How this usually looks in the real world

  • The payment happened recently and the user needs the fastest order of action.
  • The victim is unsure whether to call the bank, the app, 1930, or NPCI first.
  • The scammer frames a debit, QR scan, or collect request as if money will come to you.
  • You are told to keep the chat or call open instead of checking the official app on your own.
Action Order

What to do next in the right sequence

  • Contact the bank or payment app fraud route immediately and ask what freeze, block, or dispute path is available for that transaction.
  • Keep the UTR, time, amount, app name, and suspect UPI ID ready before you make the calls.
  • Open your own payment app or bank app directly instead of trusting the chat, screenshot, or call.
  • If money already moved, contact the bank or payment provider immediately and keep the UTR or reference ready.
  • Dial 1930 and keep the amount, time, UPI ID, and suspect number consistent across every report.
Save These

Evidence that helps the case later

FAQ

Quick answers people still ask

What should I verify first?

Verify outside the same chat, call, or link that created the urgency. Open the official app, website, or support route yourself.

What if I already shared money, OTP, or documents?

Treat the case as active harm. Move quickly into the bank, platform, 1930, and official complaint route that fits the case.

Which ScamScan page should I open next?

Open UPI fraud checker if you still need a structured review. If the case is already urgent, switch straight to emergency help.

When should I stop reading and act now?

Stop reading and move fast if money is already gone, an account is hacked, OTP was shared, or documents were sent.
