Safety Rules

๐Ÿ”ข

Never share your OTP with anyone โ€” not your bank, not the government, not family.

๐Ÿ“ž

If a caller asks for OTP or PIN, hang up immediately and call the official number yourself.

โฑ๏ธ

Real callers never pressure you to act in the next few minutes. Urgency is a warning sign.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ

Before sending any money, call your family member directly by phone to confirm.

๐Ÿ’ป

Computer virus pop-ups are fake. Never call the number shown โ€” close your browser instead.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Do not click links in WhatsApp messages about government benefits or lottery prizes.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

The government and banks send letters. They do not verify your details over phone calls.

๐Ÿ”‘

Never share your Aadhaar number, PAN number, or bank details with a caller you did not contact first.

If you are not sure โ€” hang up.

Call the official number yourself. A real caller will understand.
