How do I report fraud?

If you suspect fraud or want to issue instructions to stop payment, or want to report any fraudulent transactions in your account, we suggest the following:

  1. Please get in touch with your respective bank for immediate support and guidance. Banks have 24 x 7 support and you will be able to report a fraudulent transaction even during non-working hours.  
  2. We suggest you reach out to the cyber crime police department in your local jurisdiction.
  3. Please use this form to report it to us. Your request will be evaluated against our policies and we will review and take action as appropriate.

Please note that a UPI PIN is required to be entered on the Google Pay App to send money and not to receive money. Fraudsters may initiate a request making you believe that you will receive money by entering your PIN. Please be careful and ignore/reject such requests.
