New Online Payment Frauds in India: AI Impersonation, UPI Scams & Digital Traps — Puri Kahani, Seedhi Baat | TezUpdate.in

India ka digital payment scene rocket ki speed se grow ho raha hai… par sadly, cyber criminals bhi utni hi speed se upgrade ho rahe hain. Ab scams sirf “OTP batao” tak limited nahi rahe — AI voice cloning, fake UPI collect requests, deepfake verification calls, investment trap apps… sab milkar ek naya fraud ecosystem create kar rahe hain.

Aaj hum iss blog me latest online payment frauds, unke fayede–nuksan (aapke liye), aur kaise bachna hain, sab kuch ekdum real talk aur Hinglish vibe me breakdown karenge.

⭐ 1. AI Impersonation Scams (Voice Cloning Fraud)

Aaj kal scammers AI se aapki family/friends ki awaaz clone karke urgent paisa maang lete hain.
Awaaz bilkul original jaisi hoti hai — shockingly scary.

Kaise hota hai?

• Scammers social media se voice sample lete hain
• AI tool me daalte hain
• Call karke bolte hain: “Yaar emergency hai, jaldi paise bhejo.”

Loss: Instant UPI transfer, zero reversal chance.
Protection: Verification ke bina kabhi paise mat bhejna — call cut karke real person ko ping karo.

⭐ 2. UPI Fake Request & QR Code Scams

UPI Bharat ka heartbeat hai, aur scammers isi heartbeat ko target kar rahe hain.

Common UPI Frauds:

• Fake “collect request” bhejna
• Payment receive karne ke liye QR scan karne bolna (scan kabhi receive nahi — always send hota hai)
• Fake customer care ban kar remote app install karwana

Loss: Bank balance ek hi swipe me zero.
Protection:

• Unknown collect requests = straight reject
• QR scan → kabhi receive nahi hota, sirf payment jata hai
• Customer care number Google se mat uthao, official website se lo

⭐ 3. Fake Investment & Trading Apps (High Return Trap)

“₹500 invest karo, ₹10,000 kamao!” — ye line jitni tempting lagti hai, utni hi dangerous hai.
Fake apps aaj kal itne polished hote hain ki asli apps ko bhi sharam aa jaye.

Red Flags:

• Unrealistic returns
• Telegram/WhatsApp group se invite
• No RBI/SEBI license
• Instant withdrawal denied

Loss:

• Pura paisa locked
• Personal data leak

Protection:

• SEBI registered platforms hi use karo
• High returns = high fraud risk

⭐ 4. Phishing Websites & Fake Bank/Govt Calls

Scammers government officer, bank manager, police, ya RBI agent ban kar call karte hain.

Typical line:
“Aapka KYC block ho jayega… OTP turant batayein.”

Reality:
RBI, bank, govt kabhi OTP nahi maangte.

Loss:

• OTP share → account empty
• PAN/Aadhaar leak → future fraud risk

Protection:

• URL hamesha “https” aur spelling check karo
• Kisi call par personal info mat do
• Official apps/portals hi use karo

⭐ 5. SIM Swapping Fraud

Ye scam thoda purana hai, par aaj bhi kaafi powerful.

Process:
Criminals aapke documents use karke duplicate SIM issue karwa lete hain.
Fir:

• OTP unke phone par
• Bank access unke haath me

Loss:
Total account takeover.

Protection:

• Sudden “No Network” for long → instantly carrier ko call
• Documents share karte waqt vigilance high

💡 Fayeda vs Nuksan (Reality Check)

🛡️ Kaise Bachna Hai? — Simple, Practical Hacks

• OTP, PIN, CVV = kisi ko nahi
• QR code sirf payment send karta hai
