Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UPI Collect Request scam?
Scammers send a payment request (collect request) via apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, or BHIM, labeling it as a "Refund Approved" or "KBC Lottery Prize". Once you enter your UPI PIN, money is debited from your account rather than credited.
How does this tool identify UPI scams?
We parse the UPI address to identify impersonation keywords (e.g., sbi-help, paytm-refund) and query our local database of reported scam accounts. If matched, it triggers an immediate blacklist warning.
Do I ever need to enter my UPI PIN to receive money?
NO. You NEVER need to enter your UPI PIN or scan a QR code to receive money. PIN input is solely for debiting/sending money from your bank account.
