In today’s digital era, mobile payment, online shopping and net banking have become a part of our life. But while the facility has increased, the risk of cyber fraud has also increased rapidly. If someone evacuates the account by asking for OTP, then someone steals your data by sending a link.

Often people get scared after being fraud or think, “There will be no use, will see later.” But this is the biggest mistake. In such cases, delayed damage can be bigger.

Let us know how valuables are 15 to 60 minutes before being fraud and what you should do immediately.

🕒 What is Golden Hour?
Golden Hour means – that time immediately after fraud, in which if you take the right steps, then your money can be returned.

👉 According to experts, if you report within 30 to 60 minutes, banks and police can track your money and prevent them from reaching cyber thugs.

⚠ Why is it necessary to complain immediately?
Cyber ​​thugs are very clever. As soon as the money comes, they immediately transfer it to many accounts.

Your money can reach from one city to another, even another country in a few minutes.

If you complain within 5-10 minutes, police and bank can freeze money.

⏰ How soon should the complaint be done?
If the fraud is at 3:00 pm, a complaint should be lodged by 3:05 pm.

Because by 3:20 pm, the bank can try to freeze your money.

Remember, the first 15 minutes are the real game changer.
