In today's digital age, OTP (One-Time Password) has become the most important and most dangerous security feature. Bank transaction, UPI payment, KYC update, loan approval - everything is based on OTP. But the problem is that people trust OTP, not the sender. And this is the root cause of OTP fraud.
What is OTP Fraud?
OTP fraud is a type of fraud in which scammers:
Sends SMS from the name of a real bank or company
Asks for OTP or makes you click on a link
Gets account access as soon as you receive the OTP
This SMS seems so real that even educated people, not just ordinary people, get trapped.
Why is it difficult to identify fake OTP SMS today?
Previously, fake SMS were easy to identify:
Broken English
Unknown mobile number
Open fraud tone
Nowadays SMS scam has become advanced:
Sender ID looks like real bank
Message format looks like original SMS
Creates urgency: “Account block”, “Immediate action required”
That's why people share OTPs without thinking.
What should be the correct question when OTP arrives?
Most people ask:
“Why did OTP come?”
But the real question is:
“Who sent the OTP and why?”
An OTP can be legitimate or fraudulent. The difference can only be understood through sender verification.
Why is Sender Verification necessary?
Taking action on an OTP without sender verification is blind trust.
Blind trust = guaranteed risk.
With sender verification you can know:
Is the SMS from the real bank/company or not?
Is the message transactional or promotional?
Which network and origin did the SMS come from?
