My steps to stay safe from online fraud

about 22 hours ago

The most problematic thing in the modern world is the security of the account. Because the more our digital technology is developing, the more problems we have. Especially, various scammers are trying to hack our accounts and try to loot all the assets there. If we cannot protect our digital devices from scammers, then it has a very bad effect on our lives. So I try to ensure the security of my account constantly.

Since I am a conscious person, I have taken several necessary steps so that hackers cannot hack my account. When a person sends an OTP code to my mobile and asks me to share it, I never share those codes with anyone.

The second thing is that many people send fake messages to my mobile. After sending them, they tell me that some money has been sent to your number by mistake and please return the money to me. To get out of this situation, I look at the transaction and when I see that the matter is wrong, I block that person's account and create a beautiful report in the name of the account.

Sometimes I get a message in my account, you have won an iPhone, your account has 1 lakh taka and click here to withdraw this money now.

That is, the scammer sends me a phishing link and I constantly withdraw that link. I never enter them and I try to keep my account secure.

There are many people among us who are constantly unaware of the above issues. When someone cheats and says that you can win an iPhone by clicking on this link, that person clicks on the link and loses all his money and assets. But in my life, I have not been cheated by any scammer so far. Because I have been aware of the safety and security of devices since I was a child and I know these things well. So I have not been caught by any scammer so far and I have not given a chance to be robbed of my money and assets.

Currently, in this era of technology, the most dangerous fraud is hacking our Gmail or Google Drive account. Because those of us who work online already save our necessary documents and necessary passwords there. If a fraudster sends a phishing link to our Gmail account, then it is important for us to be aware of it. Because through phishing links, we can take away all the excels including Gmail access of our account. Due to which it can have a very bad effect on our lives. In this case, I think the most difficult fraud of the current era is to take away the express of our device.

Sometimes many such people email us and send us messages. They tell us that you participated in a lottery some time ago and won an iPhone there. To claim the iPhone, you click on the link below.

If a fraud or fraudster sends you such a message, you should never click on that message. Many times, different OTP codes can be sent to different options of your online payment. Of course, you should withdraw them and not tell anyone the OTP code of your phone.

If ever someone sends a phishing link to your e-wallet, then complain against that account and take quick advice and advice from experts.

Basically, we live in a modern technological world. In this world of technology, we always have to be careful. Because the more technology improves, the more problems in our lives will increase. Because most of us have a mischievous nature and will decide to use this technology for bad purposes.

So I think you must be careful to protect your account. Because account security is the most important and first of all. Do not share any OTP with anyone and do not click on any phishing link. Ensure the security of your account.
