Scammers are sending messages to PhonePe contacts asking for more money. My personal recommendation is to not use or not link a Bank account with PhonePe unless they address the issue.

Proofs screenshots are attached here.

No support number to talk to PhonePe, whenever we call the robot speaks.

We have all proofs, let’s go through each…

All messages, and fraud transaction history displaying here in PhonePe are done by Scammeres!

Not only request money they sent abusive words to one of our contacts, It’s all we have in PhonePe messages as proof.

Scammers have done these transactions!

Is PhonePe really safe and secure?

How do scammers do this?

1) They call people saying they are calling from the customer support team of a so-and-so company. In our case, they said calling from Bigbasket.
