The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has warned its members not to share critical details about their EPF account, personal information, or OTP over the phone or online.

EPFO has announced this due to the growing threat of EPF-related OTP scams and other issues, also to minimize fraud.

A shared tweet stated, “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 advise, because they risk losing their money. 

EPFO has also informed to be “ALERT Beware of Fraudsters!” to alert members to the danger they may be facing.

The tweet also mentioned, “Never asks for any money through WhatsApp or social media, etc.” for any service and also recommended members not to reply to calls or texts requesting personal information or sharing OTP, since this could lead to fraud.  

People can contact through its official website, www.epfindia.gov.in, with any questions, suspicious calls or messages, or other issues.
