The criminals are asking people to make a payment of Rs 10 and to fill a form in which important information or bank's confidential information like ATM card number, expiry, CVV information is being asked. By obtaining above information fraudulently, the criminals are duping the people.

Cell officials have suggested that people should not share any confidential information on unknown websites. No food plates are being parceled online by any restaurant in the city during the lockdown.

Read the message received on your mobile carefully and if asked by someone else, do not tell the code number, OTP, verification code in the message.

If any unknown person sends a link to the mobile number registered in your bank and asks them to click on it or forward it to another number, do not do so.
