Fake discount on insurance premium: Three key lessons you can learn from this X user's experience

Udit Bhandari, a policyholder from Gurugram, received a suspicious call from someone claiming to be from ICICI Lombard, offering a 20% discount on his insurance premium for immediate payment via a provided link. When the website link failed but the UPI link on WhatsApp was active, Bhandari grew suspicious and refused to pay. \r

He shared his experience on the ‘X’ platform, highlighting three key lessons: First, insurers typically offer no-claims bonuses without immediate payment demands. Second, be cautious of links from unknown sources and verify the sender's URL. \r

Lastly, avoid temptations of greed; fraudsters lure victims with promises of discounts or rewards. By contacting customer care directly, one can avoid falling prey to such scams.
