Final Note

Technology truly made our lives easy, thanks to the various applications developed by various companies.

However, we have to remember that as our way of living progresses, so does the way of those who are looking to deceive us and get our hard-earned money from us without even knowing it.

Always remain vigilant and alert, never share your passwords, pins, and even the OTP (One Time Pin) that these apps send to your mobile number.

If you suspect something is not right, do not hesitate and report it to the authorities right away.
