Common scam patterns: "Aap ka account block hone wala hai, OTP batao", "KYC update karna hai, AnyDesk install karo", "Refund release karne ke liye ₹10 transfer karo verification ke liye". Yeh sab 100% fraud hain. Agar aisi call aaye to immediately disconnect karo, 1033 pe official call karke verify karo, aur 1930 (Cyber Crime helpline) pe report karo. cybercrime.gov.in par written complaint bhi file karein — Reserve Bank ke zero-liability framework ke under 10 din mein transaction reverse ho sakta hai agar fraud established ho jaaye.
FASTag issue — universal 1033 ya issuer bank?
FASTag related issues mein 'issuer bank' (jis bank ne tag issue ki — SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, IDFC, etc.) ka customer care directly contact karna sabse fast hai. Reason: tag-specific data (KYC, recharge, blacklist, dispute) issuer bank ke system mein hai, NHAI 1033 sirf escalate karta hai. Tag ke peeche / wallet app mein issuer bank visible hai. Wrong toll deduction case mein: app › Transaction History › 'Raise Dispute' (issuer bank app) — 3-7 working days reversal. NHAI 1033 universal grievance line hai jab issuer bank respond nahi karta.
