🔗 How to Spot a Phishing Link
Check before you click:
- Hover over the link (on desktop) — does it match the text?
- Look for misspellings: amaz0n.com, sbiclogin.com
- Check if domain was recently registered (whois lookup)
- Never enter passwords or OTP after clicking an SMS link
📱 SIM Swap / Porting Protection
How to protect yourself:
- Call your mobile provider and ask for "SIM porting lock" (free)
- Never share your last 6 digits of Aadhaar with unknown callers
- If mobile network suddenly stops — call bank immediately
- Use UPI apps with additional PIN/pattern lock
