A viral video is doing rounds on social media showing kid siphoning off money from PayTM FASTag while cleaning the windscreen of the car by wearing a smart watch. The viral video shows a kid cleaning window of a car, wearing an Apple Watch, and moving the watch against the FASTag sticker on the windscreen which looks like he is scanning the sticker with his watch and wiping out money from the account. However, FASTag has denied the possibility of any such scam as the transaction can only be initiated by the registered merchants that is, Toll and Parking Plaza operators from their respective geo-locations. It further stated that no unauthorised device can initiate any financial transactions on NETC FASTag and it is absolutely safe.
