Diwali Offers 2024: The festive season is going on and there are a lot of offers at this time. Sometimes these offers can become a problem and you can become a victim of digital fraud. Many frauds are happening in the name of Diwali offers. In such a situation, NPCI has given 5 special tips to avoid digital payment fraud. It said that some important things should be kept in mind at all times while shopping for cheap so that you can avoid falling prey to any fraud.

Flashy offers and discounts
Attractive offers and discounts can make you shop in a hurry. In a hurry to cash in on such offers, you can often ignore whether the platform is legitimate or not. Get enough information about sellers you have not heard of and whose business seems unreliable.

Personal information
While signing up for offers, do not share too much personal information that is not necessary as it increases the risk of data theft.

Unsecure networks
Do not use unsecured networks like open Wi-Fi networks in shopping malls to make purchases as this can expose your financial information to hackers.

Fake delivery notifications
During the festive season, customers tend to forget what they have ordered amid the rush of shopping, which can make them vulnerable to phishing scams. To avoid fake delivery notifications, always double-check the payment link before clicking on it.

Avoid simple passwords
Avoid using simple or default passwords for your accounts as this can make you an easy target for hackers. To increase security, create a strong, unique password for each account.
