A Spoofing scam is when a criminal disguises a phone number, text message, e-mail address or website URL to convince you that you are interacting with a known and trusted source. Spoofing can lead you to disclose personal and financial information, resulting in financial fraud.
How does it work?
Someone pretending to be a representative from your Bank can call to tell you that there is an issue with your Account.
Then they ask you to provide your banking information so that the problem can be solved. But in reality this person is trying to get all the information in order to access your money.
How to protect yourself from fake call scams?
Do not respond to any questions that can be answered either with a "Yes" or a "No"
Do not share sensitive details like, PIN, OTP, password, GRID values etc.
Do not fall for unusual or urgent demands
Use caution if you are being pressurised to give out information
