Nepal Police has issued a seven-point request to avoid online fraud, citing the recent increase in online fraud. The District Police Range, Kathmandu, has issued a public notice, issuing a seven-point request to avoid online fraud.
Spokesperson of the premises Pawan Kumar Bhattarai said that the notice has been issued to raise awareness as there are daily incidents of citizens falling prey to money fraud. According to him, social media platforms such as Facebook, Imo, WhatsApp, Viber, Instagram and others are being used to send money by saying, "You have won the lottery, you have to pay some amount (revenue) to receive the money," and it is requested to be aware of this.
In the public notice, it is requested to pay only after verifying the official seller when purchasing goods online and to be safe when giving cash. Spokesperson Bhattarai said, "Be careful as there is an increased risk of making an audio-visual message (video call) from an unknown person or number, recording the call and making the video obscene, 'blackmailing' and demanding money, so be careful."
According to him, if your friends and relatives show problems through various social media and ask for financial assistance, you are requested to contact them directly and only after verifying it. He said that it is important to be aware as the account can be 'hacked' at that time.
It has also been requested through the notice to be careful as there can be fraud by showing cheap goods on social media and other online media and asking people to send advance money.
Similarly, requesting people not to open any 'links' of unknown or new social media, the police have requested people not to give their 'OTP code' to others, not to give their mobile 'screen' to anyone, not to put their important information on social media, and not to give their 'password' and other personal details to friends or close relatives.
