This is the main reason companies like OTPPAY have come up with fraud monitoring systems to provide extra transparency and security to stop this. We are going to look at different ways scammers steal from people.

Phishing scams

Phishing is one of the most prevalent and the oldest forms of scams on the internet. OTPPAY experts have devised ways to deal with scams. Phishing is whereby criminals install software that is malicious on your device. You can install the malicious software on your device after being tricked to click on the link sent through your social network or your email.

Sometimes the messages and emails sent to you may look legit. Some criminals may send emails to you appearing to be from PayPal and tell you that your PayPal account is under attack and you must change your password. When you log in to try and change your password, you are told to enter your password on the fake website and that is how they steal your login details.

Free trial offers

You may have come across those free offers telling you to subscribe to some programs. The offers tell you to subscribe to services where you have to pay only 5 dollars for service. After subscribing, you are asked to enter your credit card details. When you enter the details, you end up authorizing payment of more than 100 dollars and this is why OTPPAY encourages transparency on their platform.

Looking for love

Some people come in form of our better halves. They pretend to be looking for love, but in the long run, you realize that they are scammers. The individuals create fake online profiles and use other people’s photos. They may even use photos of real military employees. They get close to you and create a rapport. After that, they tell you a sad story that requires you to send money to them.

You get an E-card from a friend

This type of scam has been there for decades. Most people fall prey to it. You receive an e-card appearing to be from a friend.
