What to do
Scammers/fraudsters cheat the users and earn money by asking for their bank account information. If the same message pops up on your smartphone, don’t reply, as there will be no financial gain from it.
How to Identify a Scam
Carefully read any message that talks about winning the lottery. These types of messages usually contain grammatical errors/mistakes. There are several errors in the message we received. It doesn’t even seem authentic.
How to stay safe from scams
If you receive a suspicious message from an unknown number or code from an unknown country, block it.
If you find a mobile number suspicious, do not open the message received from it.
