How to identify a fake UPI transaction?

Fake UPI transactions can often be identified by recognizing common scam tactics. For instance, in "Request Money Scams," you are asked to enter your UPI PIN to *receive* money, which is never required for receiving funds. Be wary of unsolicited requests for your UPI PIN, OTP, or login credentials via fake calls, emails (phishing), or messages. Always double-check recipient UPI IDs before sending money, and remember that scanning a QR code is usually for *sending* money, not receiving it.
