The government has issued a new scam alert about online fraud. Nowadays, cybercriminals are cheating people in the name of traffic challan. The IT Ministry has issued a warning to people claiming that they have been cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. People are sent a fake link to pay the e-challan, which leads to people getting into trouble and creating a big scam.
In a warning, the government said people are receiving messages, emails or notifications about fake apps that violate traffic rules. In the given message, people are asked to pay for e-challan. The message sent contained a fake link through which people were asked to pay challan. Sometimes, hackers will even send people links to download fake apps via messages or emails. Many people fall into the trap of cybercriminals and lose their income.
this is our goal
- People are being intimidated by sending false messages telling them that their vehicles will be impounded for non-payment of fees. People get scared and fall into the trap of hackers without any verification.
- Hackers send people fake links via messages or emails. After clicking this link, a website similar to the government website will open. Because of this, people can easily fall into the trap of hackers and get scammed.
- Many times, fake phone numbers are sent to people via messages and the hackers connect the call when they call. Hackers use the help of social engineering to trick people and deceive them.

- In order to protect yourself from scammers, there are a few things you must keep in mind. Do not click on any links received in messages or emails. Please do not share any information without verification.

- Such e-challans or any government notifications are from official emails. In this case, please first verify the sender’s email and sender’s number.
- Never share your personal information, bank details, etc. with anyone.
