- I block and report WhatsApp messages from unrecognized numbers that message me.
- I’m wary of phishing emails. I avoid clicking random links.
- I look for secure websites that have https rather than just http.
- I always go by the principle “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. ”The other day I received a WhatsApp message from some random number, and they said they would pay me INR 2000 per day just for ‘liking’ a few Instagram posts. I blocked and reported them.
- I avoid downloading apps I don’t need or that sound unfamiliar.
- I don’t participate in voting for contestants if the voting form asks too many intrusive questions.

I’m very wary too when it comes to unknown numbers and mails.
Hmm. It’s better to err on the side of caution when it comes to these things, I guess.
Scammers often use enticing offers to lure unsuspecting individuals into their traps. Blocking and reporting the suspicious message was a smart move, as it helps protect not just yourself but others who might also encounter such deceitful tactics.
Yes. Sadly, I’m aware of at least two women who got conned this way. And one of them out of a huge sum of money.
