Kerala: The Kerala Police has created awareness to enable secure digital payments. This has been done to save people from cybercrime. The Police said during the awareness to keep PINs secret in digital payments. Do not share UPI PIN with anyone like ATM PIN. Even with acquaintances or those who claim to be customer care representatives. Do not scan the QR code or enter the UPI PIN to receive money. UPI PIN means you are giving money to someone. You need to pay attention to where your money is going.
The Police said to download and use only trusted apps for digital payments. Malicious apps can access personal information, including your name, as you type on the screen.
Only enter your UPI PIN when sending money through trusted apps. Be careful when sharing your UPI PIN on websites and forms obtained from links.
