UPI Refund Scam Warning

What this page is helping you do

How this usually looks in the real world

• The scam starts with a refund, recharge, cancellation, or delivery issue that seems ordinary.
• Support language is used to hide a collect request, QR scan, or remote-access step.
• 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.

What to do next in the right sequence

• Do not approve any UPI request or scan any QR code just because the caller says a refund will come through it.
• Verify the refund only inside the real merchant or payment app you open yourself.
• 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.

Evidence that helps the case later

• The refund message, support number, or merchant chat used
• The collect request, QR, or app screen tied to the fake refund flow
• UPI ID, reference number, or bank statement entry
• The full chat, payment request, or caller details
