- Do not share any OTP with any person posing as a bank representative.
- Take the customer care number by visiting the bank. Feed it in your mobile phone. Do not search the number from google.
- Many times messages of vicious people come on social media messengers by becoming acquaintances. In such a situation, know the matter by calling that acquaintance directly.
