How to safeguard yourself from UPI Scams?

Stay Safe from UPI Frauds
At UrbanPro, we value your dedication and understand the importance of safeguarding your income from online threats. Our goal is to help you avoid financial losses by offering insights and preventive strategies against deceptive tactics used by fraudsters.

Recently, across several platforms, cybercriminals have been impersonating students, sending fraudulent links or QR codes for online transactions. When tutors unknowingly enter OTPs or PINs, unauthorized money deductions can occur.

Protective Measures Against UPI Frauds
Follow these essential steps to enhance your transaction security:

1. Never Share Sensitive Information
Never disclose your UPI PIN or OTP to anyone—even those claiming to be bank or government officials.

Banks will never ask for such information via call or SMS.

2. Guard Access to Your Devices
Do not allow remote access to your phone or computer for KYC or technical support.

Fraudsters often impersonate customer care agents to steal data.

3. Exercise Caution with Links & QR Codes
Avoid clicking on random payment links or scanning unknown QR codes.

Always verify the UPI ID and recipient’s name before proceeding.

Only use UrbanPro SecurePay links, designed to protect both tutors and students.

4. Change Your UPI PIN Regularly
Update your UPI PIN at least once every quarter.

This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

5. Use Trusted Apps Only
Download apps only from official sources like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
