Due to the increase in cyber cases, people have also got little information about this, due to which now cybercriminals are trying new ways to cheat. The government has alerted people about a new method of cyber scams. The government has said in its warning that cyber fraudsters are trapping people in their net through pension scams. Cyber fraudsters are trapping people through WhatsApp, saying that the annual date of your Jeevan Pramaan certificate is near. In such a situation, it has to be renewed soon, otherwise you will be deprived of a pension.
Cyber fraudsters are taking the help of the Jeevan Pramaan Certificate.
For your information, let us tell you that for people who are taking a pension, a Jeevan Pramaan Certificate is needed to avail the benefit of their pension. Cyber fraudsters take advantage of this and send messages to people through the famous social media platform WhatsApp saying that if they want to avail the benefit of a pension in the future, they click on the link given in the message and submit their personal information on time, otherwise you will not get the benefit of pension.
This is how pension scam happens.
According to the Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO), such messages are sent to people through WhatsApp and then they are scared of their pension being stopped. When people get trapped in the words of cyber fraudsters and give their personal information and banking details to cyber criminals, then cyber scam is carried out with people. Cyber fraudsters tell people that the last date of your Jeevan Pramaan certificate is near and now it has become old. In such a situation, Jeevan Pramaan's certificate has to be updated.
This is how you can protect yourself.
To stay safe from pension scams, do not click on any unknown message or link received through social media.
Do not share your personal and banking information with any unknown person on WhatsApp or through calls and messages.
If you want to get any kind of information related to a pension or Jeevan Pramaan certificate, then always contact the authorized bank and CPAO.
