Vizzve Admin

From fake UPI links to phishing calls pretending to be from banks, digital scams in India have hit an all-time high in 2025. With more Indians going online for banking, investing, and shopping, fraudsters are evolving just as fast.

At Vizzve Finance, we believe that financial literacy is the first step to financial safety. Here's everything you need to know about spotting scams and keeping your money safe.

⚠️ 1. Common Digital Scams in 2025

🕵️‍♂️ Phishing & Smishing

Fake emails or SMS from "banks" asking you to click on links or share OTPs.

💸 Fake UPI Payment Links

Scammers pose as buyers/sellers and trick people into clicking "Pay" instead of "Receive".

📞 Fake Loan Calls

Fraudsters promise low-interest loans, ask for upfront fees, and vanish after taking the money.

Installing fake apps that steal personal and banking data.

🪙 Crypto & Investment Frauds

Guaranteed returns, fake advisors, and Ponzi schemes are back with a digital twist.
