bKash Scam
Nowadays bKash Scams have increased a lot. Fraudsters are stealing money from common people in various ways. Below is a summary of some of the main types of fraud and how to avoid them: Common Scam Methods Wrong Number Scam: Fraudsters call and say, "Dude, money went to your number by mistake, please return it." After that they send a fake cash-in message. People send money from their account without checking whether the message is genuine or fake. Asking for PIN or OTP by officer: Calling himself as officer or manager of bKash office. Says—“Your account has been blocked” or “Needs an upgrade”. Then they know your PIN or OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your mobile and delete the account. Lure of Lottery or Prize: “You have won the lottery of Rs 1 Lakh from bKash!”—The lure asks to advance some money in the name of processing fee or tax. How to Stay Safe Keep PIN and OTP secret: No official of bKash will ever ask for your PIN or OTP. It is completely your personal. Check Balance: If someone claims to have sent money by mistake, first check your account balance (by Bikash app or by dialing *247#). Don't believe just by looking at the message. Check Official Number: Make sure the number is 16247 if you receive a call from bKash. If you claim bKash office by calling from a personal mobile number, skip it directly. Avoid Greed: Avoid sending money in advance by falling into the trap of a lottery or free bonus. Warning at a glance: Awareness is the real protection. Under no circumstances should you share your Bkash's four or five digit pin number to anyone. Call 16247 directly if in doubt.
