Claim: Video of a FASTag scam showing smartwatches scanning FASTags and swiping money from them.
Fact-check: FASTag transactions can only be done by NPCI certified merchants; This scam video is scripted - FACTLY
Verdict: the alleged scam shown in the video is not true. the national electronic toll collection  fastag operates only for person-to-merchant  transactions. no person-to-person  transactions are facilitated through the netc fastag network. no unauthorized devices can initiate financial transactions on netc fastags. the npci, pib and paytm have issued statements clarifying that the information spread by this viral video is not true. the video shared in the post shows a scripted drama published and then deleted by a facebook page named 'baklol'. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
