EPFO warns members against fake weblinks and phishing scams

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, or EPFO, is the group that provides provident fund services to workers.

Some bad people make fake websites and messages that look like they come from the EPFO.

They try to trick people into sharing private information, like passwords and bank details.

The EPFO told everyone to be careful when using the internet.

It said people should only use the official EPFO website.

If a link comes in a text message, email, or social media post, you should not click on it.

You should check the website address carefully to make sure it is real.

The EPFO said it will never ask for your password or OTP code by phone, message, or social media.

If you see something that looks fake, you can report it to the EPFO's helpline or cybersecurity channels.

Being careful online keeps your money and personal information safe.
