Cyber Fraud Alert: Fake E-Challan SMS Stealing Bank Details! Stay Safe!
- •Cyber fraudsters send fake e-challan SMS messages with malicious links to steal bank information.
- •Official challans come from specific sender IDs (e.g., AD-ECHALN), not 10-digit personal numbers.
- •Fake website links often end with .cc, .org, .net, or have misspellings, unlike official .gov.in sites.
- •Genuine challan messages include specific vehicle details and dates; fraudulent ones often lack this.
- •Always use official portals like mParivahan app or government websites to check challans and report fraud on Chakshu or cybercrime.gov.in.
Why It Matters: Beware of fake e-challan SMS links; verify sender and website before clicking to avoid financial fraud.
