The Cyberabad Cyber Crime team advises people to be wary of investment and trading schemes promising high returns. Before sending money, verify all financial transactions. Be skeptical of urgent requests for money or personal details like Aadhaar numbers, bank details, or OTPs.
Always check the source of any communication and confirm it with the relevant authorities. Report and block suspicious numbers, especially those asking for money or personal information. Be careful with links sent through apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Report any cyber fraud immediately by calling 1930 or visiting www.cybercrime.gov.in.
