Before trusting any call, message or person, check the information by visiting the official website pmaymis.gov.in. If someone asks you for money in exchange for showing you the flat or giving the keys.

Then understand that it is a fraud. Never share your bank details, OTP or documents with unknown people. If you have any doubt, immediately file a complaint with the cyber crime portal or the police. Being aware is the biggest protection. Remember that the benefits of the real scheme are available only through the government portal and no money is asked for in it.
