NPCI warns against call merging scam: How to remain protected

Authorities in India have issued warnings about a new scam known as the Call Merging Scam, which targets users by tricking them into revealing their One-Time Passwords (OTPs). This scam has raised significant concerns, particularly from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which oversees the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

“Scammers are using call merging to trick you into revealing OTPs. Don’t fall for it! Stay alert and protect your money,” NPCI said on social media platform X.
