Forward-it-now checklists
Suspected fraud? First 10 minutes
The exact steps — call 1930, tell your bank, report on cybercrime.gov.in — to give the money the best chance of being frozen.
Fake GST notice red flags
The tells of a forged GST demand notice, and how to verify a DIN or RFN before you pay or respond.
Vendor invoice fraud (BEC)
How "our bank details have changed" fraud works, and the call-back control that stops it. For finance and AP teams.
UPI payment verification
The rules that keep a UPI payment safe — payee-name checks, collect-request traps, and fake payment screenshots.
Digital arrest scam
There is no "digital arrest" in Indian law. What real police, CBI, ED and courts never do — forward it to family and staff.
