How to spot fake KYC messages

Learn the warning signs of fake bank KYC update messages.

Fake KYC scams usually create urgency. They may say your account, wallet, SIM, or card will be blocked unless you update details immediately. The message may contain a short link or ask you to call an unknown number. Do not click the link. Do not share OTP, UPI PIN, card number, CVV, Aadhaar, PAN, or passwords. Open the official bank app or website yourself, or visit a branch.
