Advance ke naam par QR code, fake owner aur army officer wala scam – kiraye ke room dhundhte waqt online fraud ko kaise pehchanein aur bachein.

Internet par room dhundhna aasaan ho gaya hai, lekin iske saath fraud ke maamle bhi badhe hain. Zyadatar scam ek hi tarike se hote hain – koi aapse room dikhane se pehle hi paise maangta hai. Thodi si savdhani se aap apni mehnat ki kamai bacha sakte hain.

Aam tarah ke scam

1. "Pehle token amount bhejo" scam

Scammer kehta hai ki room ki bahut demand hai, isliye 1,000–2,000 rupaye token bhej dein to room aapke liye hold ho jayega. Paise bhejne ke baad number band ho jaata hai. Asli owner aksar room dikhane ke baad hi advance leta hai.

2. "Main bahar posted hoon" scam

Koi khud ko army, railway ya kisi aur department ka officer batata hai jo transfer ho gaya hai. Woh kehta hai ki chaabi courier se bhej dega, bas pehle deposit bhej do. Yeh sabse purana aur sabse aam fraud hai.

3. QR code se "paise receive" karwana

Agar koi kahe ki deposit wapas karne ke liye ye QR code scan karo ya UPI PIN daalo – samajh jaayein ki fraud hai. Paise receive karne ke liye kabhi bhi PIN daalne ki zaroorat nahi hoti.

4. Bahut kam kiraya

Jis area me 1 BHK 6,000 rupaye me milta hai, wahan koi 2,500 me de raha hai, to pehle shak karein. Bahut sasta offer aksar jaal hota hai.

Bachne ke 8 tarike

  • Room khud jaakar dekhe bina koi bhi advance na dein
  • Owner se aamne-samne milein aur ho sake to unka ID dekhein
  • Kisi anjaan QR code ko scan na karein, UPI PIN sirf paise bhejne ke liye hota hai
  • Paise dene par likhit receipt lein jisme owner ka naam aur sign ho
  • Padosi ya mohalle ke dukaandar se pooch lein ki ghar sach me unka hai
  • OTP kabhi kisi ko na batayein
  • Jaldbaazi ka dabav banaye to ruk jaayein – "aaj hi bhejo warna room chala jayega" ek red flag hai
  • Shak ho to BalaghatRooms helpline par listing verify karwa lein

Agar fraud ho jaaye to kya karein

Turant apne bank ko call karke transaction ki shikayat karein. Bharat sarkar ki cyber crime helpline 1930 par call karein ya cybercrime.gov.in par online complaint darj karein. Jitni jaldi shikayat hogi, paise rukne ki sambhavna utni zyada hogi. Saath hi scammer ka number, chat ke screenshot aur payment ki details sambhal kar rakhein.

Yaad rakhein – asli owner ko apna room dikhane me koi dikkat nahi hoti. Jo room dikhaye bina paise maange, usse doori banaye rakhein.
