While eager to get offers, remember not to fall for scammers and lose your money.

What is the way to secure money transactions?
Use only trusted stores to download apps for payment. If you visit a suspicious link, exit immediately.
Avoid using public shared devices or open Wi-Fi while transacting. There is a chance of your data being stolen.
Never share OTP password with anyone. Remember never to get phone calls from trusted companies or apps asking for OTP.
When you give permission to see your bank account and personal details, it lays the groundwork for losing money.
Don’t be in a hurry when making digital payments. Make sure you get receipts for all your payments.
Carefully read the permissions newly downloaded apps ask for. Do not select a single option of yes to all. Check authenticity of downloaded apps.
