During the festive season in India, big sales are being held on online shopping platforms, where customers are getting huge discounts on many products.Meanwhile, cyber fraudsters are very active these days and use new methods to commit cyber crimes .At present, a new scam is targeting Flipkart users, in which fraudsters are asking for OTP in the name of Flipkart Pay Letter and cheating people.

Fraudsters are cheating in this way

Flipkart's Pay Later system allows customers to pay later.Fraudsters are now taking advantage of this facility. They call people and pretend to be Flipkart customer service employees and say that there has been a suspicious transaction in their account.After this, they ask for OTP and if people share the OTP, fraudsters can access their Flipkart account. Flipkart has stated that the company never asks for OTP.

How to avoid OTP scam?

To avoid OTP scam, do not follow the instructions given on calls from unknown numbers. Always use their official website or phone number to contact banks or e-commerce companies.Do not share your personal and financial information with any unknown person in calls or messages. Never share OTP with others, as it can put your security at risk.
