"Aapka parcel customs mein atka hai, clearance fee jama karayein" — ye message online shopping karne wale logon ko kaafi aata hai, khaas taur par jab genuinely koi order pending ho. Ye timing hi is scam ko itna effective banati hai.
Ye Scam Kaise Kaam Karta Hai
Scammer SMS ya WhatsApp par ek message bhejta hai jo kisi asli courier company (TCS, Leopard, ya kisi international service) jaisa lagta hai — "Aapka parcel deliver nahi ho saka, address confirm karein" ya "customs duty pay karein" jaisa. Message mein ek link hota hai jo ek fake payment page kholta hai jahan card details ya OTP maanga jata hai. Ye details seedha scammer ke pass chali jati hain.
Khatarnak Nishaniyan
- Message mein koi bhi link ho jo aapko payment page par le jaye
- Chhota amount maanga jaye ("sirf Rs 200 clearance fee") — chhota amount hone ki wajah se log guard down kar dete hain
- Sender ka number ya link kisi official courier domain se match na kare
Khud Ko Kaise Bachayein
- Kisi bhi SMS/WhatsApp mein aaye link par click na karein, chahe wo kitna bhi genuine lage.
- Apna order status hamesha seedha us website/app se check karein jahan se aapne order kiya tha, na ke message ke link se.
- Courier company ke official app/website se tracking number khud verify karein.
- Kabhi bhi delivery se pehle card details ya OTP na dein kisi link par.
Agar Aap Shikar Ho Chuke Hain To Kya Karein
- Agar card details di hain, turant apni bank ko inform kar ke card block karwayein.
- Asal courier company ki official helpline se apna order status confirm karein.
- FIA Cyber Crime Wing (1991) par report karein.
- Number ko Number Bata par report karein.
