How do I know that the block UPI request is not fraudulent?

To confirm that the block request is not fraudulent, follow these steps:

·        Check for Verified Merchant Tag: Look for the indication of a "Verified Merchant" tag when you receive the request on your UPI-enabled app. This tag signifies that the requester is a verified merchant and adds credibility to the request.

·        Verify Bid Details: Review the details provided in the block request, including your Bid-cum application number, the amount, and other bid-related information. Ensure that these details match your expectations and align with the transaction you intend to make.

·        Authenticate: If possible, authenticate the request through additional means such as contacting the merchant directly through official channels to confirm the block request's legitimacy.

·        Documentation Review: Review any accompanying documentation or attachments provided as part of the block request. This may include screenshots, transaction records, or other relevant information that can help verify the request's authenticity.

By following these steps and ensuring that the block request meets the specified criteria, you can help mitigate the risk of fraudulent activity and proceed with confidence in executing the transaction.
