• Nowadays, phone numbers are registered everywhere, from schools to banks. If you want to complete any work here, you need an OTP. In such a situation, hackers prepare a number that looks like a bank or an authorized company. After this, they call the user and ask for an OTP. If you tell the OTP code without thinking, you can fall into their trap. To avoid these things, check any unknown number thoroughly before picking it up. Try not to receive toll-free numbers.
• Never share your credit or debit card details with any unknown person through online mode .
• If you are getting a call from a bank, then confirm the website with the authorized company. Keep in mind that the bank does not ask you for the OTP code.
• Do not tap on links or numbers received on WhatsApp or text messages.
