Scam Categories
Most Common Online Scams
Scammers generally follow predictable fraud patterns. Learn how to recognize them instantly.
Fake Loan Schemes
Promising quick and unsecured loans, these scammers pressure victims to pay processing fees first. Real banks never operate this way.
Never pay upfront fees to get a loan approved
Investment & Crypto Scams
Guaranteeing double returns in a short time, they display fake profits initially but disappear once a large sum is invested.
No legitimate investment can guarantee fixed profits
Social Media Impersonation
Scammers build relationships through fake profiles to gain trust before asking for money or extracting confidential personal information.
Avoid sharing private details with unverified online profiles
Financial Protection
Secure Your Money From Digital Theft
Most digital financial scams rely on mobile wallet transfers. Keep your funds secure with these guidelines.
Your OTP is Your Master Key
A One-Time Password (OTP) protects your account access. Never share it, even if requested by someone claiming to be a bank official or support executive.
Mobile Wallet Security
Verify the recipient's phone number thoroughly before authorizing any transfer. Fraudsters often use similar numbers to mislead victims.
Card & Online Payments
Only enter debit or credit card details on trusted websites secured with https:// and a padlock icon. Avoid saving cards on unverified mobile apps.
Avoid Upfront Dynamic Payments
Do not send advance payments for goods, loans, or services from unverified entities. Recovering funds from mobile banking transfers is extremely difficult.
Link Security
Verify Links Before Clicking
A single malicious link can compromise your personal accounts or financial access within seconds.
Check for HTTPS Security
Secure websites use the https:// protocol and display a padlock icon. If your browser marks a webpage as 'Not Secure,' exit immediately.
Be Wary of Shortened URLs
Short links like bit.ly or cutt.ly mask the true destination address. Attackers often use them to direct users to phishing sites.
Inspect Domain Spellings Carefully
Phishing sites mimic authentic domains but include minor alterations, such as 'bkash-bd.com' or swapped characters. Read URLs carefully.
Avoid Links in Unsolicited Messages
Do not open links included in unexpected reward notifications. Always navigate directly to a company's official website or app instead.

Do Not Panic — Follow These Steps Immediately
