Participant (demo identity)
Step 1 — Lure message
Message
(If they want to send you money, why do you need to scan a QR?)
(Fake QR for demo)
Step 2 — Decoded QR reveals a payment
Decoded UPI intent
URL:
Pay to (pa):
Name (pn):
Amount (am):
Note (tn):
Warning: Scanning a QR usually creates a payment. Receiving money does not need your UPI PIN.
Safe habit: If someone wants to pay you, share your UPI ID or show your QR, or ask them to do a normal transfer from their app.
Step 3 — Payment screen asks for your UPI PIN
Payment Details
To:
Amount:
Reason:
Entering UPI PIN means you pay. Never enter PIN to "receive" money.
Enter UPI PIN (demo)
Correct action: **Reject**. Ask the sender to transfer directly to your UPI ID instead.
Outcome
Emergency: If money was debited, call 1930 immediately to try freezing the transfer.
