Five habits that help with any of these
- Never share an OTP, UPI PIN, card PIN or CVV with anyone, including someone who says they are from the bank.
- Do not tap links in unexpected messages; open the official app or type the website yourself.
- Call back on the number printed on your card, bill or official app, not the one that contacted you.
- Be careful when someone creates a deadline or asks you to keep the matter secret.
- If money has moved, call 1930 at once and report at cybercrime.gov.in; the first hours matter most.
