Cyber criminals are posing as Booth Level Officers (BLO) to defraud citizens during the ongoing Special Summary Revision of electoral rolls. Scammers call victims claiming technical errors in their voter applications and ask for an OTP to 'fix' the issue. Once the OTP is shared, money is stolen from the victim's bank account. The Election Commission of India has clarified that no official will ever ask for an OTP. The public is advised to use only official websites or the Voter Helpline app and report any fraud to the 1930 helpline. https://saakshatv.com/dont-share-your-otp-fake-blo-calls-draining-bank-accounts-across-the-country/
