Earlier, The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation had also warned its members not to share critical details about their EPF account, personal information, or OTP over the phone or online. It had announced this due to the growing threat of EPF-related OTP scams and other issues, also to minimize fraud.

They also warned by saying, “EPFO never asks its members to share their personal details like Aadhaar, PAN, UAN, Bank Account or OTP over the phone or on social media.”

EPF members should not share personal information like their Aadhaar card number, PAN, bank account number, or UAN number with anybody on WhatsApp or social media, according to the EPFO advice, because they risk losing their money. 

EPFO has also been informed to be “ALERT Beware of Fraudsters!” to alert members to the danger they may be facing. In case of any query, EPFO members can login to the official website of EPFO at epfindia.gov.in.
