Beware: 'You Won Rs. 10 Lakh' Message is a Dangerous Telecom Scam!

  • Scam messages claim you won Rs. 10 lakh without participation, targeting mobile users across India.
  • Scammers demand personal details (Aadhaar, PAN, bank info, OTPs) or a 'processing fee' to release the fake prize.
  • Tactics include creating urgency, impersonating official bodies, and exploiting mobile banking prevalence.
  • Legitimate rewards require participation; unsolicited prize messages are fraudulent.
  • Protect yourself: Do not click unknown links, share personal details, or forward OTPs; report to authorities.

Why It Matters: Unsolicited 'You won Rs. 10 lakh' messages are scams; never share personal data or pay fees.
