PIB Fact Check Warns Against Fake Jan Dhan Yojana Scratch Card Scam

Viral social media ads promising a cash prize of ₹5,000 using a digital scratch card for PM Jan Dhan Yojana are fake. PIB Fact Check confirmed this is a trick to steal personal and bank details.

Government does not give out cash prizes through digital scratch cards. Stay alert and avoid clicking suspicious links or sharing private info. You can find real scheme details on the official PMJDY portal. If you see these posts, report them to PIB Fact Check to avoid money loss.
