A very important reminder that scammers often use urgency and trust to manipulate people. Your alertness and willingness to question something that felt wrong saved you from a potential scam. Never share your UPI PIN or enter it to receive money, and remember that scanning a QR code or approving a collect request can lead to money being debited. Stay alert, stay safe! 🙌

You escaped a major scam. Similar happened with me where the scammed claimed to be my dad's friend. He told me that he borrowed money from dad and dad told him to return me. My dad always talks to me before committing something. So I told him that I do not believe him and hung up the call.
