Everyone Should Know the Digital Payment Safety Rules, your bank account will empty
Digital Payment Safety: In the era of Digital India, UPI payments have become an inseparable part of everyday life. From buying vegetables in the morning to shopping online and settling restaurant bills, transactions are completed within seconds. However, this very convenience is now turning into a risk. Cases of cyber fraud are rising rapidly, and most of these incidents occur not because of flaws in the system, but due to small lapses and carelessness on our part.
Experts say that every family should adopt some basic digital rules to protect their hard-earned money. Here are 5 important safety tips that are essential for every household:
– Do not click on unknown links: Cybercriminals often send fake links. Clicking on them can lead to your bank details being stolen.
– Never share your OTP: Banks or UPI apps never ask for your OTP. Sharing it is an open invitation to have your account emptied.
– Do not search for customer care numbers on Google: Scammers post fake helpline numbers. Always get the number from the app or the bank’s official website.
– Keep your UPI PIN secure: Never write down your PIN or share it with anyone.
– Regularly check your bank statements: Even a small discrepancy could indicate a larger problem.
Cyber experts say that fraud is now less about technology and more about our habits. For example, many people hastily accept payment requests or scan QR codes without thinking. This carelessness gives fraudsters an opportunity.
