5 ways to avoid FASTag fraud
Fake SMS and links
For some time now, cyber criminals have been targeting people in different ways. Sometimes they are also telling by sending SMS and sometimes links that your FASTag is going to be closed, but let us tell you that no such message is sent by the bank. Therefore, the next time you get such a message, understand that it is a fake message.

Use the official website or app.
Cyber criminals are also targeting people through fake apps, so do all the work related to FASTag only from the bank/NHAI site or official app.

Do not share OTP, PIN, or password.
To avoid such fraud, do not share OTP, PIN, or password with anyone. The bank or company will never ask you for this information.

Avoid scanning the QR code.
Not only this, nowadays fraudsters are also targeting people by sending QR codes. First, they ask to scan this QR code for a recharge, while in reality, this money is transferred directly from your account to their account. Therefore, never scan the QR code coming from an unknown number or WhatsApp.

Keep an eye on the balance and transactions.
Not only is it important to follow safety tips, but you should also keep a constant eye on the activity of your account. Keep checking the balance of the Fastag wallet from time to time and also see its transaction history. If you see any wrong transactions here, immediately complain about it to customer care.
