PM Modi warns citizens against digital fraud, KYC scams

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cautioned Indian citizens against falling victim to digital fraud schemes, particularly those targeting Know Your Customer (KYC) updates. He emphasized that KYC information should only be updated through official banking and government channels.

Citizens are advised to verify official contact details independently before sharing any information. Using only authorized platforms and avoiding unsolicited requests for KYC details can help prevent identity theft and unauthorized account access. Source: DD News.
