Fake NSE Investor Services calls and apps

Callers using the National Stock Exchange name ask for fees on unclaimed shares or push tips. Learn how to verify.

The National Stock Exchange of India runs the exchange and provides investor information and complaint services. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be NSE Investor Services on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake NSE Investor Services calls and apps

Fake official claims your account is flagged and asks for a deposit

WhatsApp contact uses an exchange logo to sell stock advice

How to verify it yourself

The exchange does not call retail investors to sell shares, collect fees or approve accounts. Investors deal with registered brokers, and unclaimed dividends or shares are checked through the company's registrar or the investor protection channel using official websites you type yourself. Verify any adviser's registration on the regulator's site before paying. Stock tips groups using a logo are not endorsed by the exchange, and money asked for to clear a review is a sign of fraud.

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.

How Safeavio helps

Safeavio Sentinel's phone scan lists apps outside a store, risky permissions and settings such as unknown sources, and the Money Shield checklist slows you down before you send money. It cannot stop a call, but it helps you spot a fake app afterwards.

Check it before you tap or pay

Safeavio Sentinel is a made-in-India Android app: paste a message or link, or scan a QR code, and get a plain verdict with the reasons. It helps you spot a scam; it does not promise to stop every one.

Questions

A caller says they are from NSE Investor Services. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact NSE Investor Services through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can NSE Investor Services ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
