5 Ways To Detect Fraud Attempts And Avoid Loss

Fraud attempts are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it essential to stay vigilant and informed

Here are five ways to detect and avoid falling victim to scams

Be cautious of calls, emails, or messages from unfamiliar numbers or addresses. Scammers often use international or spoofed numbers, as well as email addresses that look legitimate but have minor misspellings or discrepancies

Fraudsters often create a sense of urgency to manipulate victims into acting without thinking. Whether it’s a ‘missed courier delivery,’ ‘unpaid bill,’ or ‘legal threat,’ take a moment to pause and verify the claim through official channels

Be wary of anyone asking for unusual payment methods, such as wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. Scammers often prefer these methods as they are harder to trace and reverse

Never share sensitive details like your Aadhaar number, bank account information, or passwords with unverified sources. Scammers often use such information to commit identity theft or fraud

If something feels off, trust your instincts. Consult a trusted friend, family member, or professional before proceeding
