Recognize
Online Scams
Job Offer Scams
Fake companies asking for registration or 'security deposit' fees before hiring.
They ask for money before you start work.
Scholarship Scams
Messages claiming you've won a scholarship but you need to pay a processing fee.
Real scholarships never ask for upfront payment.
OTP / Bank Fraud
Scammers pretending to be bank officers requesting your OTP or card details.
Banks NEVER ask for OTP or passwords over a call.
Romance Scams
Building fake emotional relationships to gain trust, then asking for money.
If someone you've never met asks for money, it's a scam.
Prize / Lottery Scams
'You've won ₹50,000! Pay ₹200 to claim your prize.' — Always a scam.
You can't win something you never entered.
App Permission Misuse
Apps that request access to camera, contacts, or location without clear reason.
Check permissions before installing any app.
