As more Pakistanis move to online bill payments, scammers are finding new ways to steal your money. Here's how to protect yourself.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Websites asking for your ATM PIN
- Payment links sent via SMS from unknown numbers
- Requests for OTP codes via phone calls
- Websites with misspelled URLs (e.g., lesco.com.pk vs lesco.org.pk)
Safe Payment Methods
Always use official channels:
- Official provider websites (verify the URL)
- Bank mobile apps (JazzCash, Easypaisa)
- Bank websites directly
Best Practices
Never share your ATM PIN, OTP codes, or CVV with anyone. Legitimate payment systems will never ask for these details. Always verify you're on the official provider website before entering payment details. For safe bill checking, use K-Electric bill or SNGPL bill official pages.
