Just a phone call and account empty
Cyber criminals call you on a special occasion and offer a good offer on a product. For this, you are asked for small amount as token money to book the product. Most people get caught in the hackers’ trap and make a mistake in the greed to buy the product. After this, money is vacated from the bank account.
Cyber criminals adopt many methods for this. To fraud with you, hackers send you a link and ask to fill information like your address, phone number. Stuck in the greed of the product, most people open the link sent by them and give them access to their device. After this, cyber criminals vacate the bank account without delay.
You can avoid this way
- Never open the message coming from an unknown number.
- Also, do not forget to forget the link sent to e-mail, SMS or WhatsApp message.
- Apart from this, do not get into any offer, discount etc.
- In the case of most fraud, people make their own fault. They come in greed and invite cyber criminal to cheat. Therefore, the best way to avoid fraud is caution. The more care you are, the more you can avoid fraud.
