How Fake LIC App & Website Phishing Works

Overview: Scammers have developed fake apps and websites that mimic the look and feel of LIC’s official platforms to steal login credentials, policy numbers, and personal financial data. Unsuspecting users are directed to these malicious sites or apps via SMS, WhatsApp, or social media ads, usually when searching for LIC services or after getting scam calls. Victims may end up downloading malware, losing money, or being exposed to further scams.
