What If Someone Is Using a SIM Card in Your Name? Imagine this: Someone gets a mobile number using your ID proof — without your knowledge. They could use it to commit fraud, scam people, or access your sensitive data. And you’d never know... until it’s too late. This kind of misuse is not just possible — it’s happening across the country.


Why This Is a Serious Threat When someone fraudulently uses your identity to get a SIM:
  • They can impersonate you online
  • They may receive your OTPs, risking your bank accounts
