Fraudsters send phishing emails posing as the Income Tax Department, often asking recipients to download an E-PAN card via a link. Such emails aim to steal sensitive data like passwords, bank details, and OTPs. They use email addresses resembling official domains and may contain malicious links or attachments leading to fake websites or malware. Recipients are urged not to click links, open attachments, or share personal information via email, calls, SMS, or links.
