Increased Cyber Fraud Risk in Jio Users' Names
In view of the sharp increase in cyber fraud cases across the country, Reliance Jio has alerted its millions of users. The company has directly warned through messages that cybercriminals are using Jio's name to send fake calls and fraudulent messages, with the aim of stealing people's personal information.
Jio has clearly stated that in such scams, by obtaining OTPs, bank details, and personal data, users can suffer significant financial losses. The company has issued this alert at a time when online scam cases are continuously on the rise.
Jio Explains Easy Ways to Avoid Fraud
In its alert message, Jio has urged users not to share personal information on any unknown call or message. Especially, do not provide OTPs, bank details, or KYC-related information to anyone, even if the caller claims to be a company employee.
The company stated that cyber fraudsters often trap people using fear, greed, or threats. In such situations, sharing any information under pressure could directly invite loss.
Stay Away from Third-Party Apps and Suspicious Links

Furthermore, the company has also warned about suspicious links. According to Jio, it only sends links related to the MyJio app or jio.com. If a link opens outside these platforms, it should be avoided.
Beware of Attempts to Trap You with Offers
Jio has also clarified that if someone claims to be a company representative and entices you with attractive offers or free benefits, do not trust them. In such cases, only use the MyJio app for accurate information.
According to the company, official information related to any service, recharge, plan, or offer is available on the MyJio app. In case of any doubt, users can directly log in to the app and verify themselves.
