Most Common Online Frauds: In today's time, the internet and digital revolution have made our lives easier, and cheating someone online has also become equally easy. Every small and big piece of information of yours can be easily hacked and misused against you. In such a situation, let us know the most common ways, using which scammers cheat you. If you know these methods once, then no one will be able to cheat you.

TRAI Phone Scam

In this, scammers call you and ask for KYC details by pretending that your mobile number is switched off or doing illegal activities. But TRAI never makes such threatening calls to any user.

Parcel Scam

In this, scammers threaten to pay a fine by threatening to find some kind of illegal goods in your parcel. Do not answer any such call and also complain about it.

Digital Arrest

In this, scammers threaten to digitally arrest you online by posing as police, CBI, or any officer. This can last from a few hours to several days. Police never arrest or interrogate anyone online like this.

Family member arrested

Many times scammers demand money by saying that a member of your family has been arrested for some illegal activities. In any such situation, talk to that family member directly.

Profit from trading

Social media is full of offers to earn huge profits from the stock market. The greed for huge profits in a short time can cause you huge losses.

Attractive job offers

Just like online trading, there are many tempting promises of easy money, online or part-time jobs online. Falling into any such greed is not good for your pocket.

Lottery
You may often get messages in your mail and SMS that you have won a lottery and to get it you have to make a security deposit or verify a link. Ignore or block any such message.

Wrong money transfer

Many times you may also get such calls in which scammers claim that money has been transferred to your account by mistake. Before replying to any such scammers, you should check your bank account.

KYC Expire
Many times you get a fake call in the name of the bank, in which your personal information is sought by claiming that your KYC has expired. The bank never calls you like this.

Tax Refund
Many times scammers pretend to be tax officers and ask for information from you for a refund. Let us tell you that the tax department already has all your information.
