🛡️ Smart Tips to Avoid Scams

🔐 Never share your OTP — Banks, UPI, or government officials never ask for your OTP/PIN. 💳 Enter your UPI PIN only while making payments. You don't need a PIN to receive money. 📱 Don't click on unknown links — Avoid suspicious links received via SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email. 👤 Don't give remote-access apps to unknown people — Scammers can control your phone through apps like AnyDesk, TeamViewer. 📞 Beware of calls saying “Your account will be blocked” — Scammers create urgency to make you pay. 🏦 Verify bank details — Always get customer care numbers from the bank's official website/app, not random numbers from Google search. 🎁 Too-good-to-be-true offers = Red Flag 🚩 — Verify lottery, cashback, investment, or offers like “Give ₹500 and get ₹5,000.” 🔑 Use strong & unique passwords — Enable 2FA/MFA on important accounts. 🧾 Check the receiver's name before payment — Don't pay without verifying the UPI ID/QR. 🚨 If scammed, take immediate action — In India, call 1930 for financial cyber fraud and file a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. ⚡ Golden Rule “OTP + UPI PIN + Password + CVV = NEVER SHARE.” 🔒
