Tips before you click
- No bank, courier or company will ever ask you to share an OTP, PIN or password, or to enter your UPI PIN to receive money.
- Banks, delivery companies and tech support will never ask you to call a number from a pop-up.
- Never type a password on a page you reached from a message. Open the company's app or type its address yourself.
- No real website asks you to press Win+R, or to paste something into Terminal or PowerShell, to "verify you are human".
- Never enter a crypto wallet's recovery phrase anywhere.
