• Don’t blindly believe: Always be alert while communicating on dating platforms or social media. Do not blindly trust any stranger.
• Demanding money is the biggest threat: In online friendship or love, if a person asks for money under the pretext of compulsion, then it is a big sign of a scam (Red Flag).
• Do not share confidential information: Never share your bank details, UPI PIN or One Time Password (OTP) received on the phone with such people.
