The Ministry of Railways has warned pensioners about cyber fraud and urged them to be vigilant against individuals posing as Railway officials. In a statement, the Ministry said that certain cyber fraudsters are making fake phone calls and sending SMS or WhatsApp messages pretending to be Railway officials. They are also seeking personal and financial details under the guise of updating PPO (Provident Fund), verifying KYC (Know Your Customer), and providing additional pension benefits. The Ministry has clarified that it does not send any links or messages for updating PPO or service records.
