Cyber fraud cases are on the rise, and if you're not careful, you could lose a significant amount of money. Cybercriminals are getting more advanced and are finding new ways to scam innocent people. They can even empty your bank account without an OTP! It's essential to be aware of these scams and take necessary precautions.
How are people falling victim to cyber fraud?
AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System) allows people to withdraw money from their bank accounts using their Aadhaar card. Cybercriminals are misusing this service to scam people. They use biometric information to withdraw money from people's accounts without their knowledge. This scam affects those whose bank accounts are linked to AEPS.
How do cybercriminals carry out this scam?
Cybercriminals steal people's biometric information, including their fingerprints, to carry out this scam. They use this information to withdraw money from people's accounts, leaving them with no trace of the transaction.
How to protect yourself from cyber fraud?
Firstly, it's essential to secure your Aadhaar card. You can do this by visiting the official Aadhaar website and creating a masked Aadhaar or virtual Aadhaar. This will prevent anyone from misusing your Aadhaar card. You can also lock your Aadhaar card by entering your linked mobile number.
