Prevention of Fraud
Together, let's combat cybercrime!
We believe that protecting your hard-earned money and shielding you from loan-related frauds is our top priority.
If any personal mobile numbers send you SMS, WhatsApp messages, or calls asking you to perform any of the following:
1. Send your KYC documents and paying the full processing costs for getting a loan sanctioned
2. Paying back a portion of the loan through a third-party payment link, a personal UPI ID, or a personal bank account number – to get a loan settled.
Send a snapshot or recording of such offending message or correspondence to care@tradofina.com or call our customer support line at 022 48913684/022 50156122 immediately.
We take all required precautions to protect you and your information.

How is Fraud possible?
By pretending to be corporate/company personnel, these fraudsters and scammers hope to gain your trust, jeopardise your personal information and steal money from you. These fraudsters/scammers will vanish and won’t reply to you once the info is compromised or once payment is made to them.
How to Safeguard yourself?
We want you to have a safe and convenient experience, but we also want to remind you to be careful and vigilant. Scammers may occasionally encourage you to take certain planned actions that could result in you losing money to them. Because of this, it’s critical that you are aware of the do’s and don’ts if you find yourself in a similar circumstance.
1. Scammers may claim to be customer service representatives or the company (digital lending app/NBFC/Bank), family members or coworkers by using emails, texts, WhatsApp messaging, phone calls and websites.
2. Never will we ask you to download an app or piece of software to facilitate payments. You may be the victim of a scam if you are required to download any such software and it could be used to empty your account.
3. Do not install any app on the advice of strangers. Always install our app from the official Google Play Store by installing from this link --Download App
4. Never divulge your card’s PIN, CVV, OTP, or Internet banking password to anyone you contact via unsolicited call, SMS and email.
5. Never divulge confidential information on social networking platforms.
6. Never use a personal UPI ID, personal bank account number, or a third party payment link to make a payment. Always pay back loans using the Tradofina app or the payment link sent to you via SMS from the company’s registered “TRADOF” sender ID.
7. Never transfer funds without first verifying the recipient’s identity.
8. Never share your screen when conducting a transaction.
9. Never do it when under duress and while someone is on the phone line.
10. Avoid clicking on links included in SMSs, emails, or social networking sites that claim to be from or represent the bank.
11. If something seems too good to be true, then use common sense and trust your gut.
12. Keep your personal information private. Never write down or share your passwords or account information with anybody.
13. Never perform banking activities while connected to open/public WiFi. Always keep your credit and ATM cards secure.
14. Ensure the security of all of your personal documents. Never give an unfamiliar person copies or original documents containing your personal information, such as your date of birth, PAN number, bank information, address proofs, etc. Request identification at all times.
15. Check your bank account statements regularly. If you notice any transactions, you don't remember making on your account, report the discrepancy to the customer service department immediately.
16. Regularly review your bank account statements. Report any transactions that you don’t remember making to customer support – as soon as you find them on your account.
17. Do not accept the offers or bargains unless you have contacted your bank’s customer service for clarification and are certain it is in your best interest.
18. To avoid fraudulent transactions, change your ATM/debit card PIN frequently.
19. Regularly check your computer for spyware.
20. Customers of various banks frequently receive emails from fraudsters urging them to update sensitive account information, such as their debit/credit card numbers, internet banking User IDs, and passwords, by clicking on a link in the email or visiting a website. Please be aware that we do not request this information from our clients in any way. Therefore, never share any information and please report to us in case you receive any suspicious email.
