Beware! Scammers are exploiting vulnerabilities in the Aadhaar-enabled Payment System (AePS) to empty bank accounts without SMS or OTP authentication. To prevent fraud, the Bengaluru Police commissioner has issued a warning and the State Bank of India (SBI) has advised customers to lock their biometrics through the m-Aadhaar app or UIDAI portal. In these scams, criminals use victims' Aadhaar biometric data to withdraw funds without consent.
