OTP Scam Alert: Scammers Drain Accounts Posing as Delivery Boys, Bank Officers

• OTP scam incidents are rapidly increasing in India, with fraudsters emptying bank accounts.
• Scammers pose as delivery boys, customer service, or bank officials to trick victims into revealing OTPs.
• They claim packages need verification, orders are canceled for refunds, or accounts need KYC updates.
• Banks never ask for OTPs, PINs, or passwords over the phone; sharing OTPs authorizes fraudulent transactions.
• Never share OTPs with anyone, verify caller ID, avoid rushing, use official apps, and report suspicious activity immediately to 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in.
