If you want to avoid fraud, keep these things in mind:-
By avoiding unknown links
If you want to avoid being cheated, then you mustn't trust any unknown link or click on them. If you have received any link through message, WhatsApp, or any group on which you are being asked to click, then do not do so. Otherwise, money can be withdrawn from your account.
Do not trust unknown messages.
Fraudsters are messaging people in the name of connecting them to PM Kisan Yojana and getting the stuck installment. In such a situation, you have to be careful because these messages are completely fake, so do not trust them. If you do this, you can be cheated. If you want to join PM Kisan Yojana, then visit its official website pmkisan.gov.in or you can apply by visiting your nearest CSC center.
Not every call is correct.
In the name of PM Kisan Yojana, fraudsters can also make fake calls to you, which look exactly like a real call. In this, you can be cheated in the name of the scheme in which money can be withdrawn from your account on the pretext of getting your installment, completing documents, or any other pretext. So do not trust these calls and do not share any of your information or OTP.
E-KYC only from the portal or CSC center
If you are a beneficiary of PM Kisan Yojana or you are newly connected to the scheme, then note that fraudsters can cheat you in the name of e-KYC. For this, they can call you and ask you to do e-KYC or send a link on the message, but as soon as you click on this link, you get cheated. So do not make such a mistake and go to the official portal of the scheme pmkisan.gov.in for e-KYC or go to the nearest CSC center.
