- Be aware about the POS tools which provides transaction facility. On non-familiar/un-authorized POS(Point-of-Sale machines) , please avoid to make transaction.
- Always keep eye/be aware about your mobile phone, I would suggest to keep locking period as minimal as possible. If your mobile device is unlocked and stolen meanwhile, it should get lock automatically. As this can lead panic situation if unlocked mobile is has been handovered to non-legitimate person.
- Nowadays, bio-metric identity is used to identify and match your personal information. So be careful not to give your bio-metrics on non-identified/un-authorized device. They can mis-use your details which are so important to unlock your mobile device as well. And, those collected bio-metrics also can be connected with banking applications to show that you are doing such transactions and fraud happens. So don’t give your bio-metrics to non-legitimates !
- Keep your credit/debit cards safe always, as they can be used for transactions by hackers/ fraudsters to make payment on NFC/POS which uses card-wave facility.
- Don’t save your important details on mobile notes/on any social media chat application. Such information contains, banking passwords, PIN, different authentication numbers as well.
- If you found your SIM has been cloned/used parallaly without your consent, please inform bank and respective service provider immediately.
DIGITAL literacy is very important factor. Everyone who is using online practices, should be aware about such activities.
