Before people can understand and do anything, money is transferred from the account within a few seconds. In such a situation, let us know how this scam works and how to avoid it.

How does e-challan fraud happen?

Cyber ​​criminals send a fake message of e-challan on mobile to trap people. In this message it is claimed that a challan has been issued for your vehicle, which you will have to pay immediately. Along with this, a fake link is also given to pay the money. As soon as a person tries to make payment by opening this link, fraudsters steal his bank account information and OTP. Many times, by clicking on this link, a virus or dangerous software gets downloaded into the phone, due to which the entire bank account becomes empty.

Identify fake links like this

• The easiest way to identify real and fake challan message is its link.
• The link of the original message of the government or traffic police always has .gov.in (eg- echallan.parivahan.gov.in) written in it.
• If small and unknown names like .com, .net, .org or bit.ly are seen in the link of the message, then it is completely fake.
