Safety Tips to Prevent Call Spoofing Fraud
- Verify Caller Identity: Always confirm if the caller represents a legitimate company by calling back official customer service numbers.
- Do Not Share Sensitive Information: Avoid providing personal details like bank credentials, OTPs, or credit card information over the phone.
- Beware of High-Pressure Tactics: Scammers create urgency to push victims into making immediate payments. Be skeptical of such requests.
- Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Protect accounts with additional security layers to prevent unauthorized access.
- Do Not Call Back Unknown Numbers: If unsure, verify the number before returning a call.
- Report Suspicious Calls: Immediately report potential scams to cybercrime authorities or helplines.
