Important tips to avoid UPI fraud

You get a call or message in which you are told that your UPI ID has been hacked and you are asked to change your PIN. But do not tell your UPI PIN to anyone under any circumstances.

2. Do not click on unknown links

If you ever get a link from an unknown number or email, do not click on it. This may be a phishing scam. In this, you are asked to click on a fake website or app where you are asked to enter your UPI PIN.
