When online shopping is happening on such a large scale, how can online thugs be left behind? They have become fun. They are making good money by online Fraud. Their eyes are on your money. They are trying new ways to blow your money. But whatever be the method, its basis is always greed.
Your greed is the biggest weapon of thugs. Thugs give you fat lures on one or the other excuse. And if you greedily drip saliva and follow them, no one will be able to save you from plundering. They will rob you very easily. If seen, these thugs have many methods of cheating you. But here we will talk about only one method, which is the most popular method and the most used by online thugs.
I would like to tell you that every year thousands of online fraud cases are filed in India. These include Frauds through ATM, Credit Card, Debit Card, Internet Banking, POS and UPI. And most of these Frauds are carried out through Phishing Attack.
Phishing is the most popular method of fraud. In this, the thugs copy the original website and create a fake webpage just like that. And its link sends you with a message that by reading it you cannot stop yourself from clicking on that link. That is, you are given tremendous greed in the message. So much so that once you read the message, click on the Spam Link and hand over all the information required by the thugs.
Spam Links
If you use WhatsApp then you must have seen that many times thugs send you such links, which include booking an iPhone X for 1 rupee, buying Samsung Galaxy S10 for 10 rupees or free laptop for 0 rupees under Prime Minister Free Laptop Scheme It is a mistake to buy. Such messages contain Spam Links.
All these links are fake which takes you to a fake webpage designed by thugs and there you will get your username, password, mobile number, details of Debit Card, Credit Card details, Internet Banking username and All the information will be passed on to the thugs, who will enter the password or whatever. And what will happen after that, I probably don't need to tell.
See the recent incident. A few days ago my friend got a WhatsApp message in which he was lied to buy Samsung Galaxy S10 for 10 rupees. The message stated that "Samsung was running a contest named 'Galaxy S10 - 10 Ka Dum', in which 100 lucky people got Galaxy S10 smartphone for just Rs. 10 and he is one of them."
Fake Website
Well, I understood the whole story after seeing the link given in the message. But still I clicked on the link and reached a custom webpage created by the thugs, which was a copy of Amazon. Even the phone's photos, descriptions and ratings, from Fonts to Careful Care, were taken care of so that Victim does not mistakenly suspect that it is Amazon's Fake Website. But still, some mistakes remained.
When I clicked Buy Now, I was asked to pay. For payment, only these three options were Credit Card, Debit Card and Net Banking. There was neither EMI option nor Pay On Delivery. Because the thugs meant only bank details and credit/debit card details, they did not give all the other options.

Whatever I enter here will go to the thugs. But most people come here and make mistakes. They greedily fill the details of their bank and credit/debit card and after that click on the button of Make Payment, then all their Details go to the thugs. and then? Then what? The thugs are swept over their bank accounts and are left with no other option than to beat their chests.
