Cases of online fraud are increasing continuously in the country. Every day cyber criminals are adopting new ways to withdraw money from people's bank accounts. From digital arrests to trading fraud, common citizens are becoming victims of these fraudsters every day. Google, which is used by billions of people around the world, has recently told users some important measures to stay safe from these cyber thugs and identify fraud. Let us know what precautions you can take to protect your financial and personal data.

Be cautious with crypto investments.
If you have been promised high returns in a crypto investment scheme through an email or message, it is probably a scam. No real scheme can guarantee you to double the money in a short time. If an offer or deal looks "too good", it is probably a fraud.

Avoid fake apps and websites.
Many cyber criminals try to steal the personal information of users by imitating popular apps and websites. These fake portals can look exactly like the real ones and sometimes even add new attractive features. In such a situation, download any app only from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Avoid landing page cloaking.
This is a high-tech fraud in which scammers show different content to users and Google. Such websites give users an experience similar to popular websites and ask them for login IDs and other credentials. This is used to gain control of their accounts and steal money. To identify them, look carefully at the URL and make sure that the URL remains the same even after redirection.

Deepfake messages
Google has said that look carefully at any video, audio, and photo. There have been many cases in which it has been seen that a celebrity has been shown promoting a trading app, whereas that celebrity has never promoted that app. At first glance, such videos and audio seem real but if you watch and listen to them carefully, you will know that these contents have been prepared with the help of AI. Do not fall for such videos and do not invest by trusting them.
