A family member’s voice on a call asking for money

Hang up and call them back on the number saved in your phone. A familiar voice can be copied from a short video.

Work-from-home task scams

Liking videos pays a little at first. The larger balance is not real, and the unlock fee does not release it.

Fake customer-care numbers in search results

The first number on a search page is often an ad. Use the number inside the official app or on your card.

UPI safety: PIN, collect requests, and screen sharing

Investment scams that promise a fixed return

A WhatsApp group or trading app that guarantees daily profit, then blocks the withdrawal, is a scam.
