SIM Swap scams are on the rise in India, where scammers aim to gain access to duplicate SIM cards to exploit personal data.
A recent case involved a lawyer who lost money from her bank account after receiving three missed calls and without sharing any personal details or OTPs.
Scammers use various tactics, including unusual browsing history, phishing links, and UPI registration texts, to obtain personal information.
SIM Swap scammers aim to obtain personal data to collaborate with insiders at a mobile network and get a duplicate SIM card. This allows them unauthorized access to bank accounts and personal information.
