Fake Sharekhan messages and links
Texts with the Sharekhan name claim failed confirmations, prize fees and paid-plan switches. Check what is real in your account.
A long-established retail broker, part of BNP Paribas, where customers trade in shares, derivatives and commodities, invest in mutual funds, and receive research. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Sharekhan 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 Sharekhan messages
- Sharekhan trade confirmation failed, enter your password on this page to resend
- Sharekhan referral prize waiting, pay the handling fee to collect
- Sharekhan your account will convert to a paid plan tomorrow, opt out here
- Sharekhan new IPO allotment list leaked, join the group for exact names
How to verify it yourself
Look at confirmations, charges and plan details in the official Sharekhan app or on the website that you type yourself. Trade confirmations come from your own trading account, so you do not type your password anywhere to resend them. A broker never asks you to shift funds to a safe account. If you think a demat account is no longer needed, ask for closing through the platform and check the steps on the official site. Use the support details on the official site to call.
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 can I tell if a Sharekhan message is real?
Do not judge by the sender name or the logo; both can be copied. Open the official Sharekhan app or type its website yourself and look for the same notice. Sharekhan will not ask for your OTP, PIN or password in a message.
What should I do if I tapped a link in a fake Sharekhan 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.
