1. 🚫 Avoid sharing personal details like CVV numbers, OTPs, PINs, and passwords over the phone, even if the caller seems legitimate.
2. 📞 Verify the caller's credentials and the purpose of the call, regardless of the displayed phone number.
3. ☎️ Refrain from disclosing non-confidential information and contact the official customer service number directly for any concerns.
4. 🛡️ Keep personal information private, especially on social media platforms, to prevent unauthorized access.
5. 💻 Avoid using public computers at cyber cafes for sensitive transactions.
6. 🔐 Set up a unique password for online transactions on your debit/credit card.
