Fake 5paisa messages and links
Texts using the 5paisa name promise cashback, free algos and withdrawal releases. See the traps and how to check your account.
A discount broker aimed at low-cost investing, where customers trade shares and derivatives, buy mutual funds and apply for IPOs on its mobile app. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be 5paisa in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake 5paisa messages
- 5paisa flat brokerage cashback ready, claim by sharing your login
- 5paisa account suspended for missing documents, upload a selfie holding your PAN
- 5paisa gives you a free trading algo, activate with a deposit
- 5paisa withdrawal request on hold, release it by paying a verification amount
How to verify it yourself
Withdrawals from a 5paisa account go to the bank account you have already registered, and their status is visible in the official app or the website you type yourself. A genuine withdrawal does not need an extra tax payment. Strategy groups and free algos sent from outside the app are not part of the broker's service. The broker's own app has a help section for real support. No agency settles money laundering claims through a call to your demat account holder.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions
How can I tell if a 5paisa message is real?
Do not judge by the sender name or the logo; both can be copied. Open the official 5paisa app or type its website yourself and look for the same notice. 5paisa will not ask for your OTP, PIN or password in a message.
What should I do if I tapped a link in a fake 5paisa message?
Close the page without typing anything. If you entered details, change the password at once from the official app, call your bank or provider using the number on your card or bill, and report at cybercrime.gov.in. If money moved, call 1930.
