Easypaisa is warning customers about a recent surge in fake messages and calls circulating on social media. These fraudulent posts falsely claim that Easypaisa accounts are being blocked and urge users to withdraw their funds immediately.
The company has clarified these claims are baseless. All Easypaisa accounts are secure, and customers should always trust only official communication from the company.
How Scammers Target Users
🔐 OTP & PIN Theft
Fraudsters pose as Easypaisa representatives and ask for users’ OTP (One-Time Password) or PIN. Once these details are shared, scammers can access the account and steal funds.
📞 Fake Verification Calls
Criminals phone users pretending to verify account details or unlock services. They often sound convincing and try to create a sense of urgency.
🌐 International Number Scam
Users may receive calls or texts from international numbers. Scammers attempt to trick people into giving away sensitive information or clicking dangerous links.
📣 Viral Misinformation
False warnings spread through TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, and other platforms, claiming accounts will be frozen by a certain date to pressure users into acting quickly.
✅ How to Protect Yourself
- Never share your OTP or PIN—no matter how official the request seems.
- Ignore any demand urging you to urgently withdraw your funds or meet a deadline.
- Block and report any suspicious calls or messages.

- Enable security features such as biometric login and real-time alerts on your app.
