EPFO Alert: Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has issued an alert for all its users. EPFO has asked all its members that no account holder should accidentally share the information related to the account on social media. Due to this, account holders can get caught in big fraud. If the EPF account information is in the hands of fraudsters then they can snatch your earnings from your account.
While issuing an alert, EPFO has said that EPFO never asks for Aadhaar, PAN, UAN, and bank details information from its member. In such a situation, if someone asks you for such information on the phone or on social media, then be careful and do not share it at all. Do not answer such fraudulent phone calls or respond to any such messages.
EPFO gave information
Issuing an alert for all its users, EPFO wrote in a tweet, ‘Never ask your members to share personal information like Aadhaar, PAN, UAN, Bank Account or OTP over the phone or social media. EPFO further states that EPFO never asks to deposit any amount for any service through WhatsApp, social media, etc.
Phishing online fraud
Significantly, people’s big earnings are deposited in the PF account, which people deposit for retirement expenses. Fraudsters know very well that here they will get big money in one stroke, so they attack the account through a phishing attack. Actually, phishing is a part of online fraud in which the depositor is tricked, the necessary information related to the account is obtained from them and then the account is cleaned.
