Fake Unacademy messages and links
Fake Unacademy Plus renewals, test-series fees and educator offers ask for payments and logins. Check your subscription in the app.
Unacademy is an Indian online platform with live classes and recorded courses for competitive exams like UPSC, JEE, NEET and SSC. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Unacademy 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 Unacademy messages
- Unacademy Plus subscription renewed, tap to cancel before the card is charged
- Free test series for exam toppers, pay the registration fee here
- Educator selected you as a mentor, send the verification amount
- Your coupon for 70 percent off expires tonight, enter your login to apply it
How to verify it yourself
Your subscription, batch and receipts are listed under your profile in the Unacademy app, and that is the place to cancel or check a renewal. Educator applications and partnerships are handled by the company's own channels, and applying for a teaching role does not need you to send money. Pirated classes from group sellers are risky and may carry malware. Coupons are applied inside the app, never by giving your login on a page sent to you.
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 Unacademy message is real?
Do not judge by the sender name or the logo; both can be copied. Open the official Unacademy app or type its website yourself and look for the same notice. Unacademy will not ask for your OTP, PIN or password in a message.
What should I do if I tapped a link in a fake Unacademy 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.
