With just a few clicks, you can order everything from groceries to gadgets and enjoy great deals and variety. But along with these benefits, the risk of cyber fraud is also increasing. Let's know about the measures to avoid it-

1. Beware of fake links

Scammers often send messages or emails offering attractive deals, free gifts or coupons.

These messages may contain links that lead to fake websites designed to steal your personal information.

Never click on any suspicious link received via SMS, WhatsApp or email without confirming the source.

2. Ignore fake prize calls

You may receive a call claiming that you have won a lottery or a cash prize.

They may ask you to join a Telegram group or answer questions to claim your reward.

Once you join, your device may be hacked, and sensitive information may be stolen.

3. Do not share OTP or bank details

Fraudsters may offer fake cashback or credit card deals by posing as bank officials, especially during the festive season.

They may ask for your OTP (one-time password) for “verification” purposes.

Never share your OTP or account details, no matter how credible the call may seem.

4. Avoid clicking on suspicious emails

Emails claiming to win a lottery or surprise gift are often a trap.

Clicking on such a link may lead to your mobile getting hacked or personal data getting leaked.

Always verify the sender's email address and avoid responding to unknown or suspicious mail.
