Today, whenever we have any doubt, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘Google’. We use Google for everything from cooking to health advice. But searching everything on Google can unknowingly get you into big trouble.

1. Customer Care Number
When you need the customer care number of a bank or company, never search directly on Google. Cyber ​​criminals often upload fake numbers. If you call that number, they can take your bank details and steal your money. Always visit the official website to get the number.

2. Cracked Software and Apps
Do not search ‘cracked version’ or ‘modded apps’ to get expensive apps for free. Viruses like malware or ransomware can enter your phone or computer through these. These viruses then send your private photos and data directly to the hackers.

3. Health problems and self-treatment
Don’t be afraid to search for minor illnesses on Google. Google is not a doctor; This shows only the available information. Incorrect information may cause unnecessary worry, or you may put your life at risk by taking the wrong medicine. When you have any health problems, it is best to see a specialist doctor.

4. Get rich quick scheme
“How to become a millionaire in a day?” Or searching “money doubling scheme” can lead you straight into an online scam. Websites making such promises are ready to run away with your investment money.

5. Personal Identity Details
Do not enter your Aadhaar card, PAN card, email ID, or password in the Google search box. By doing this your information may be leaked to third-party websites, and they may misuse your identity. Technology has made our lives easier, it is true, but without caution, danger is certain. Always be alert while using the internet and stay away from cyber fraud.
