                  And you uncle took cash from you in exchange for the upi to your account? Did you contact your uncle to ask where did that money come from etc?

                          Then Sorry bro you got scammed. The money sent to you was flagged by the sender as unauthorised due to which your account is frozen. Since there will be no way to prove who was the person who took the cash or if he actually did cos its cash handling, your account will remain frozen. Ask your bank manager for the reason and how to unfreeze

                    Who is this uncle…is he known to you? and who were the persons to whom you transferred- I assume they were known to this uncle. Ask this Uncle to clarify to you in writing,giving his PAN and Aadhar and mobile number and send the scan to NPCI.

                            So you dont know him – why did you transfer such amounts which are being called into question. If it was paid for fees – then check out what /for whom you paid it. .. ask them to explain.

                          What that uncle has done is, he paid you using UPI, took cash.

                          Then he went home and filed complaint with his own bank that he transferred it by mistake. He also has done cybercell complaint possibly.

                          Their bank has then filed a complaint with your bank who has now blocked the funds in your account.

                          Now you will have to visit your nearest cyber cell and ask them for the reason of this account blocking.

                          You will most probably loose that UPI transferred amount by uncle.

                          You will have to then ask Cyber Cell to release the remaining balance and keep this “uncle scam money” on lien.

                              Just say you took a personal loan from that uncle/friend.

                                  These are money laundering scams. Earlier the bankers like those from Bihar were participating in it by opening accounts without adequate KYC checks for transferring fraudulent funds. But after strict measures by RBI, that’s being difficult. So they find ways to transfer these funds into random persons’ accounts.
                                  1. They are part of these gangs who either threaten or blackmail people into paying. But since the receiving bank account gets tracked and blocked, they are running out of accounts to get quick transfers like these.

                                  2. It could be those email scams saying you have won this sum and to receive that, pay so much for customs and GST.

                                  3. People open fraud stores on Instagram and then ask people to pay 50% in advance. They give these random UPI numbers.

                                  4. Fraud gambling and other sites asking people to sign up, they keep rotating their payment destinations. These destinations are random mule accounts who don’t know what they are doing and then “help” by taking digital payments like this.

                                  5. They go to a shop, buy something exactly for the sum demanded from the victim like let’s say 5k. Then they claim their account is not working and they will call their relative to send the money. They take a pic of the UPI QR Code and get the victim to dispatch money into that.
