1. Always Verify UPI Payments Yourself

This is the single most important safety habit on any P2P platform. Before you release tokens to a buyer:

  • Open your own UPI or bank app – never rely on a screenshot the buyer sends you
  • Check the exact amount – it must match the order total, including decimals
  • Confirm the sender's name and UPI ID match the buyer's profile in the app
  • Look for "Success" status – not "Pending", not "Processing"
  • Only then tap Confirm Payment inside ShaktiPay
Why this matters: Payment screenshots can be edited in seconds using free apps. Your bank statement cannot be faked. This one check prevents the majority of P2P fraud.

2. Beware of Fake ShaktiPay Websites

Scammers create clone websites that look identical to the real ShaktiPay site. These fake sites may distribute malware-infected apps or steal your login credentials.

  • Use only a download source you have independently verified. Do not assume that a third-party information page is the app developer or an official download provider.
  • Check the URL carefully before downloading anything
  • Never install an app from a link shared in a random Telegram group, WhatsApp message, or search ad
  • After installation, verify the app name and icon say "ShaktiPay"

3. There Is No ShaktiPay Customer Care Number

We cannot verify ShaktiPay’s current customer-support channels. Be cautious with phone numbers or accounts found through search results, social media, or messages; confirm contact details using a source you independently trust.

  • Never call any number claiming to be ShaktiPay support
  • Never share your OTP, password, or UPI PIN with anyone who calls you
  • Never send money to "unlock", "activate", or "verify" your account
  • Report suspicious contact details to the relevant platform and, where appropriate, your bank or local cybercrime reporting service.

4. Fake Telegram Groups & Admins

Scammers create Telegram groups with names like "ShaktiPay Official", "ShaktiPay Support", or "ShaktiPay VIP" and pose as admins. They then ask members to deposit money, share OTPs, or click malicious links.

  • Do not assume a Telegram group or channel is official just because it uses the ShaktiPay name or logo. Verify any claimed official channel through a trusted, independently confirmed source.
  • Real admins will never ask for your OTP, password, or money
  • If a group asks you to "deposit to start trading", leave immediately
  • Report fake groups through the Contact page

5. Advance-Fee Fraud – Never Pay to "Unlock" Anything

A common scam involves someone telling you to pay a fee to unlock your withdrawal, activate your account, or upgrade to a "premium" level. This is always fraud.

  • Before paying any registration or service fee, verify the fee and recipient through independently confirmed official terms.
  • Be suspicious of unexpected fees demanded to release a withdrawal or receive funds; verify any charge independently before paying.
  • Do not rely on claims about premium or VIP accounts without checking the service’s independently verified terms.
  • Anyone asking you to send money before you can receive money is a scammer
Rule of thumb: If someone asks you to pay money in order to receive money, it is a scam. Always.

6. Protect Your Password & OTP

  • Create a strong, unique password – mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols
  • Never reuse your ShaktiPay password on other apps or websites
  • Change your password every few months
  • Never share your OTP with anyone – not even someone claiming to be ShaktiPay support
  • Never share your UPI PIN under any circumstances
  • If you suspect an account is compromised, secure your email and account using verified recovery channels and contact the service through a confirmed support route.

7. Safe Trading Habits

  • Start small: Begin with the smallest trade possible until you understand the flow
  • Trade only what you can lose: Token prices can drop – never trade money you need for essentials
  • Use the appeal system: If a trade goes wrong, raise a dispute inside the app immediately
  • Keep records: Take screenshots of trade details and payment confirmations for your records
  • Stay updated: Check trustworthy sources for new scam alerts and independently verify any claimed official channel
  • Trust your instincts: If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is

8. Quick Safety Checklist

Frequently Asked Questions – User Safety

01 How do I know if a ShaktiPay website is real or fake?

The only website we link is shaktipayapp.in. Check the URL carefully. Fake sites may use similar-looking domain names with extra letters, hyphens, or different extensions.

02 What should I do if someone asks for my OTP?

Never share it. Never share your OTP, password, or UPI PIN with anyone. Treat anyone requesting these secrets as suspicious and end the conversation.

03 A buyer sent me a payment screenshot. Should I release the tokens?

No. Always verify the payment in your own UPI or bank app. Screenshots can be easily edited. Only release tokens after you see "Success" in your own transaction history.

04 Someone says I need to pay to unlock my withdrawal. Is this real?

No, it is a scam. Be wary of unexpected advance fees to release funds. Verify all charges independently and never send money solely because a stranger promises a payout.

05 How do I report a scam related to ShaktiPay?

Save evidence such as URLs, messages and transaction references. Report suspected fraud to the relevant platform, your bank/payment provider, and the appropriate cybercrime authority.

06 Is there a ShaktiPay customer care phone number?

We cannot confirm ShaktiPay’s current support arrangements. Verify contact details independently and be cautious of unsolicited support numbers.

07 What if I accidentally shared my OTP or password?

Change your password immediately inside the app. Then contact in-app support and explain the situation. Monitor your account for any unauthorised activity.
