SIM Closure Scam in India

What this page is helping you do

How this usually looks in the real world

• The message says your SIM will stop, close, or fail verification unless you act fast.
• The scam uses a link, file, or call to push KYC, app install, or identity steps outside normal telecom channels.
• The message threatens account freeze, KYC failure, SIM stop, or police action if you do not comply fast.
• A suspicious link, app-install step, or unknown support number is hidden inside the urgency.

What to do next in the right sequence

• Verify any SIM-closure claim only from the official telecom app, website, or number you open yourself.
• Treat SIM scams as higher risk if banking OTPs, device logins, or app resets were also affected.
• Do not use the link, file, or number from the suspicious message until you verify through the official app or website.
• If you already clicked or shared details, note exactly what was entered and what changed afterwards.
• Save the SMS, call details, or link because bank and KYC wrappers are often reused across campaigns.

Evidence that helps the case later

• The SIM-closure message, file, or link used
• Any account or OTP alerts that followed the telecom-style scam
• The SMS, email, or WhatsApp message carrying the threat
• The full suspicious URL, file name, or support number shown
