Diwali 2025, Oct. 16 -- For individuals concerned about Unified Payments Interface (UPI) fraud or falling victim to scams while making digital transactions through their payment platforms, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has issued guidelines to secure their digital payments.

The authorities recommended that people should follow the 'Stop, Think, Act' principle, as stopping to think and verify before clicking on any 'unexpected requests.'

People should be more vigilant, as scamsters are aware that many individuals may act impulsively to secure a 'too good to be true' deal. These fraudsters often exploit people through social engineering by leveraging technology and awareness.
