Cases of cyber fraud have increased rapidly in the last few years. Many such cases have come to light in which people were digitally arrested by posing as fake police, or CBI officers and were swindled of lakhs of rupees. Fraudsters are making people their victims by accessing the information stored on the internet. However, fraudsters are also making people who do not have internet their victims. In such a situation, the question arises that how do they have our information without internet? Apart from this, how are people who do not have internet being made victims. Let us tell you how fraudsters are making those who do not use the internet their victims?

How are fraudsters making people their victims without internet?

Even if you do not use the internet, fraudsters can easily make you their victim. Actually, for this they take your data from other places. In this, they leak data from social sites, hospitals, shops or government offices etc. or extract it in any way. Then they use this data to cheat you. Data of many people is also taken from the phone of their relatives, such as they take out your mobile number, address etc. In this way, even if you do not use the internet yourself, the fraudsters make you a cyber victim.

How can you keep yourself safe?

In today's era, if you do not keep yourself safe, then you can become a victim of cyber fraud. To avoid this, if you are using email or any online service, then try to keep its password very strong. Do not keep your name, mobile number or date of birth as password even by mistake. Try to always use two-factor authentication. If you get any unknown mail or message and any link is given in it, then do not try to open it even by mistake. If someone calls you and says that he is a police officer or some other official. If he says that you are being arrested or that your Aadhaar or any other document has been misused, then ignore such calls. Always keep your phone updated. If any security feature update comes, then definitely use it, this keeps your phone safe.
