"Shaadi mein zaroor aana. Card attached."
The file: Sharma_Wedding_Card.apk
One tap, and the app could read every SMS. Now every OTP goes to the scammer.
A wedding card is a photo or a PDF. Never an app.

"Your SIM needs a 5G upgrade. Just dial this code."
One code. Call forwarding on. OTPs, WhatsApp, bank calls, all going to the scammer.
No operator asks you to dial a code.
Dialed one? Dial ##002# to cancel.

11 PM. "Papa, accident ho gaya!" It sounded exactly like his son.
Rs 40,000 sent.
His son was asleep in the next room. The voice was AI.
Hang up. Call them back on their own number.

"Your electricity will be cut at 9:30 PM tonight. Contact the Electricity Officer."
The "officer" sends BillUpdate.apk.
The power stayed on. Rs 62,000 left the account.
Electricity boards never send apps on chat.

"Your stars are against you. First remedy is free."
Then: Shani puja Rs 5,100. Rahu dosh Rs 11,000. Special yagya Rs 25,900.
Rs 42,000 paid.
Then blocked.
A remedy that keeps costing more isn't a remedy.
#31days31scams#astrologyscam#enfoldai
Saw a saree in a reel. "Rs 1,299 only. DM to order."
Paid. Then: "Pay Rs 300 more for courier."
Then blocked. The saree never came.
New page, DM-only orders, no COD? Don't pay.
#31days31scams#instagramscam#enfoldai
Your friend sends "BankRewards.apk" on WhatsApp: "Points expire today, install karo."
Right above it: "Your security code changed."
It wasn't your friend. It was a hacker.
Banks never send apps on chat.
#31days31scams#apkscam#enfoldai
"Victory! Rs 10,584 credited."
Then: "Deposit Rs 1,200 to process your withdrawal."
If you have to pay to withdraw, the winnings were never real.
#31days31scams#gamingscam#enfoldai
"Congratulations! You've won Rs 25 lakh!"
The catch: pay Rs 18,750 GST to claim it.
A real prize never asks you to pay first. If they want money before you get the winnings, there are no winnings.
#31days31scams#lotteryscam#enfoldai
"I'm sending you money. Just scan and approve."
It wasn't a payment. It was a collect request.
Scanning a QR or entering your UPI PIN only sends money out.
You never need a PIN to receive money.
#31days31scams#upiscam#enfoldai
For darshan, you stand in a queue. You don't scan a QR.
A "VIP slot Rs 1,100" QR doesn't come from the temple. The money goes to someone's personal account, and you never get the darshan.
Ask EnfoldAI before you scan.
#31days31scams#enfoldai
Buying a garba pass online? Pause.
The page looks official. The money goes to a personal account. At the gate, your name isn't on the list.
Buy passes only from the venue or the organiser's verified page.
#31days31scams#navratri#enfoldai
A refund arrived. The money left.
"ITR refund Rs 15,490 approved. Verify bank account to receive."
Real refunds land in the account you already gave. No link, no app, no OTP.
Check only on https://t.co/xaS5rrkr9H.
#31days31scams#itrrefundscam#enfoldai
Profit on the screen. Nothing in the bank.
A "VIP" group. An app showing 180% IPO gains. The screen said Rs 5,06,948. The ATM said insufficient balance.
Then: "Pay tax first."
Try a small withdrawal before any deposit.
#31days31scams#tradingscam#enfoldai
Loan approved. Money gone.
Rs 1,850 processing fee. Then GST. Then a "micro code problem", Rs 11,000. Then Rs 11,000 again.
Loan disbursed: Rs 0.
Real lenders deduct charges from the loan. Never before it.
#31days31scams#loanscam#enfoldai
Earn from home? Lose from home.
Rs 650 for an ID card. Then a delivery charge. Then a file charge. Rs 10,500 gone, no job.
A week later, a "refund agent" called.
A job pays you. It never charges you.
#31days31scams#jobscam#enfoldai
It wasn't a helpline. It was a scammer's ad.
The first Google result was "Sponsored". One ring, then: "Share the OTP to verify your complaint."
Real helplines are on your card and in your bank's app. Never in search results.
#31Days31Scams#EnfoldAI
Fear of a block. An OTP scam.
"Dear customer, your account will be blocked today. Update KYC. Share OTP to confirm."
The fear is real. The message isn't.
Banks never block over one SMS. KYC happens at the branch, never via OTP.
#31Days31Scams#KYCScam#EnfoldAI
Real challan. Fake link.
"Your vehicle MH12 XX 4521 has an e-challan of Rs 1,000. Pay now."
Looks real. Now read the link: https://t.co/MewX0p6DrP
Not .gov.in = not the government.
Check challans only on Parivahan or mParivahan.
#31Days31Scams#EChallanScam#EnfoldAI
βΉ60,000/month. No interview. Work from home. Sounds perfect, right?
Fake recruiters, instant joining, a link to "confirm your job", a "registration fee".
Before you click or pay, pause and verify.
Dream job or scam? Ask EnfoldAI first.
