Hackers trying to trap you in many ways, you can be a victim of fraud

SEP 25 (WTN) - Internet usage is now common in a country with a large population like India. Nowadays most of the people are handling their needs online. Earlier, the works for which you had to be engaged in hours, nowadays, the same work is done on computer or mobile in a few seconds. But the carelessness and haste of the user while using the Internet can make him a victim of online fraud and he may also suffer mental, social and economic harm. Today we tell you which methods you can follow to avoid being a victim of online fraud.

Whenever doing any banking or finance related work online, see that the website concerned should always start from https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). At the beginning of this, the mark of lock should be made. For your information, let us know that if any website is starting from https, then it means that the website concerned is completely safe. So now whenever you do any work related to finance or banking, you must first check whether the website is starting from https or not?

Whenever you do any work online, be aware of any kind of pop up windows, advertisements and warnings. This is why, because through it the hackers try to fraud. We advise you to never share your personal information in a pop-up, because if you do this, hackers can harm you by breaching your personal information.

It is not that hackers can make you a victim of fraud only through the website. Remember, hackers can also make you a victim of fraud by calling or emailing again. We advise you not to share your personal information, bank details, OTP and bank passwords with anyone, over phone calls or e-mail.

Many times you get a message from an unknown number on your mobile; many times a link is given in this message. In the message containing the link, you are asked to click on the link given in the message. We advise you to never click on such links, because if you click on these links, the virus interferes with your mobile and this virus can breach your personal information and banking related details.

Every person should have a sense of compassion and it is the duty of a human to help the needy people. But it has been seen that fraudsters take advantage of this sentiment of people and collect money from them. For your information, let us know that through false disease and any other concocted human problems, some people try to collect money online. Actually, people resort to crowd funding, which many people fall prey to. If you want to provide financial help to a needy online, then be careful and help someone online financially only after thorough investigation.
