Reliance Jio is alerting its millions of users about the e-KYC scam. This is a trick commonly used by online hackers whose primary objective is to steal personal details of users and through them to damage your bank account.

Scammers want to gain access to KYC details of users through illegal means. In a letter sent to customers, Jio has warned against the increasing incidents of e-KYC scams.

In such cases, scammers usually ask users to share their KYC details/Aadhaar number or download the app or click on an unverified link.

You are asked to download a third party app for e-KYC verification by call or message. Doing so could lead to your online fraud. So if you want to keep your bank balance intact, stay away from third party apps.

False calls are made as an official of Reliance Jio. Aadhaar number, OTP or bank account number may also be requested for such e-KYC verification. Do not provide this information by mistake.

Failure to perform e-KYC verification may result in termination of your seam. But keep in mind that once you use a valid seam with a valid document, no one can close it.

If you reply to a message for e-KYC verification, the whole group of fraudsters may harass you by making repeated calls.

Don't click on any link from an unknown number. With one click, your information can reach cyber criminals.

Complete information regarding Jio's connection can be found on the MY Jio App. So don't go to third party apps or links and submit your private information.
