FASTag user loses Rs 50K after sharing UPI PIN

Online fraudsters are now using the teething problems in the FASTag toll payments to cheat people.

A man allegedly lost Rs 50,000 after sharing his UPI PIN on a dubious link sent by a person claiming to be a customer care executive of Axis Bank.

Rahul Gop, a resident of Flower Garden, faced issues while trying to recharge FASTag from his Axis Bank account on January 11. He then posted a tweet on the bank’s Twitter handle, seeking support. Two days later, a man claiming to be from the Axis Bank customer care rang him up from an unknown number and promised to resolve his complaint.
