How to protect yourself from this online scamĭo remember that any message sent from your network operator will not display a number but a code containing the initials of the operator. When your bank sends out an OTP to your device to authenticate, they can see the number and type the code at their end to empty out your bank account. This way hackers find out your bank details and attempt to transfer money to their account. They are after bank account number (if you try to pay through an UPI), OTP for payment transfers and more. For the uninitiated, remote access apps allow any person on the other end of the town, even another state in the country, to view your computer screen and use the PC to do anything they want on it. The hacker told Kumar to download a remote access app called Anydesk Remote Desktop.
Intending to verify the source of the message, Kumar dialed the alleged customer care number and was connected to a person (hacker) who confirmed that he needs to complete his KYC procedure in order to continue using his SIM card.
Please call our customer care 8420962191.immediatly your S l M will be deactivated within 24 hrs." Note the grammatical errors and spelling errors. A similar message was shared with Kumar that said, “Dear customer, Your S l M Ducumment has been pending.
