3) You send your UPI ID to the Fraudster... He insists on sharing QR Code ("Something is Fishy! Warning 2")
4) You share the QR code...
5) Now after an hour or 2 or during business hours, the person calls you... (He/she calls during Office/business hours) Saying i am transferring the amount to your account... He asks you to stay on phone line and tries to help you... (saying go under all transactions, click pay etc... )
6) You also Receive a message in Google Pay about transfer amount and guess what it reads "Receive Money"
Here's the trick... The fraudster is using Note feature of Google Pay to write the trick words "Receive Money".... Google has given that option to give the context of the transaction... But notice the amount reads -5100 (Easy to miss on a Call or busy schedule)
7) After you tap on transaction, you are presented with this screen.... The fraudster asks you to enter your pin so you get the money immediately in your bank account.... However, if you are alert enough on the phone, you might notice that you are actually paying Google clearly shows the user icons etc... but Google should make this More and More obvious...
The fraudster asks you to stay on the call.... since he/she knows that while keeping you busy, it would be easier to scam you with the text "Receive Money"
Google do send you SMS which is more obvious but remember you are on the Call.....
I hope Google Pay makes it super-obvious to the person entering the PIN with alert message like "Your account will be debited with Rs. 5100" prompt message....
Be careful guys.... The fraudsters are trying new tricks to get your hard-earned money

Yeah … tried to con me one time … via phonpe .. in a similar fashion 
Yep its scam used on olx…Many a times they say they are from army to instill trust
Same thing happen with my cousin he ask me some army man sending 6000 for his money on phone pe, and that man send request money for 6000.
It won’t even bother me
I don’t even have 100rs in my bank lmao😂😂😂😂
Yeah bro, you are right,i have already faced this fraud but thanks for letting know this issue to other dimers also
Here is the name of that guy who tried to cheat people
Is there any way to teach him based on below information
location of ip addresses of All the fraudster are found to be at Bihar or West Bengal and cyber cell are investigating on this
After few months they all are in jail.
Anthrax bhau enlighted me. So rebuilding my post.
“All please understand that you DONT NEED TO ENTER PIN to RECEIVE MONEY”
Brother trust me more than 70-80% of the Gpay users will make this mistake
All of us can say including the most aware and secure ones that fraud can’t happen with us but it takes just a few minutes to get cheated in this world with an ever increasing number of fraudsters 
@P_A_N_K_A_J is right.
Simple logic:
“If you are entering UPI pin, money goes from you.”
It’s that simple.
even “UpToDate High Tech” person will make mistake, hope google make corrective action. Please report it.
There are only 2 things that can be done here.
1a. When a debit request is received, masked as ‘receive money’, Google should put this text on top clearly that ‘money will be debited from your account’.
OR
Debit request background can be red color to alert even busy users like small shopkeepers.
1b. Alerts can be provided timely that PIN is required ONLY to send money, and not while receiving. This is already being done by banks.
2. Users using the app need to learn in the first place that PIN is required only while sending money, not receiving.
IT IS NOT A ‘GOOGLE QR SCAM’, ITS A COMMON SCAM FOR ALL UPI/QR/BHIM APPS.
All users aware of this, please educate your parents, younger siblings, shop workers or business helpers, domestic help about this that PIN is only needed while sending money, not while getting.
PS: Another thing we all can do is send feedback to NCPI to allow a fraud notification options within 30 mins or 1 hour to transaction, so that the receiver account can be blocked and receiver can be traced. Our combined effort can make a difference.
@P_A_N_K_A_J You are absolutely correct. Being dumb is stupid and stupid is ignorance, unwise, showing poor judgement or little intelligence.
I will call myself stupid/dumb if i left open my door and robbery happens, I will be stupid if i keep my wallet in back pocket in a crowded bus.
I will be stupid/dumb if i want to drive a car but ignore to learn how to put brakes.
Sameway when you want to utilize the technology but ignore to learn it fully, you are dumb and stupid.
In this tech era no one can save you from being cheated or scammed but only you.
You don’t need to enter UPI pin to receive money, it is needed only for payments and balance enquiries.

Why would anyone give u money.
olx scam – people put products on sale and these people who scam are ready to buy without even seeing or checking the product they say google pay transfer and then later confuse to enter UPI pin as request money
Agreed. One of my cousins got duped 20k X 2 coz the other guy requested money and he was in half awake so he entered the PIN not once but twice
who says Indians are not talented
if you receive any such request, DO NOT enter PIN, also do not decline the transaction. Keep it in hanging state, force close the app and file an FIR.
Remember only one thing- u need to enter upi pin when you are paying to someone/checking bank balance…otherwise strictly no need to enter
