Cybercriminals are using new tricks every day to trap people in their net. In such a situation, it is important to stay safe from cyber scams. In phishing scams, cybercriminals send people a link to a website through email or SMS in a fake way.

In whale phishing scams also, cybercriminals get sensitive information from people by entangling them in their talks. In this, many times the device is also hacked. In payment scams, scammers trap people through calls or messages and request to make payments in exchange for some service. A phishing QR code is used in this. In an OTP scam, cyber criminals say through phone calls and messages that you have received OTP by mistake. For this, they resort to a link or sometimes phishing.

In third-party app scams, cyber criminals ask to download an app on the phone.
