- Change the password you received to one only you know.
- Use a different password for each platform ID.
- Reset it straight away if anyone else might know it.
2. Your devices
- Lock your phone with a PIN, pattern or fingerprint.
- Keep your browser and WhatsApp updated.
- Log out after using shared devices.
- Never install APK files sent by strangers.
3. Who you talk to
- Only use the WhatsApp link on the official site.
- Ignore anyone who contacts you first.
- Be wary of urgency, “bonuses” and guaranteed results.

- Ask for current payment details in the official chat every time.
- Pay only from an account in your own name.
- Never approve UPI “collect requests” you don’t recognise.
- Never share OTPs, UPI PINs or CVVs.
