INTRODUCTION

If we need any information, or want to find the answer to any question, ‘Go to Google and do a search in this age of the internet, from image to bank, all information is searched in Google search. However, sometimes this habit can get you into big trouble.

Not every piece of information that Google receives is completely accurate. In fact, fraudsters can empty your bank account using the practice of Google search. Today we are going to tell you about 5 things like this, they should be cautious before searching on Google.

ONLINE BANKING WEBSITE

We often search the bank’s website on Google for digital transactions, but sometimes there is a risk of falling victim to a fake website, so whenever you go online banking, enter the correct URL of the bank’s official website. You will find the correct URL in the document provided by the bank.

If you do not click on the correct URL, you will see links to phishing sites that, when opened, look like real banking portals. After logging into this portal, you may find your bank details with hackers, which is risky.

CUSTOMER CARE NUMBERS

We often call a customer care or helpline number to report a product and use the Google search engine to get these numbers. Hackers advertise many fake helpline numbers on Google, which will result in you getting the wrong customer care number and your personal information, will be handed over to hackers as soon as you call.

To avoid this kind of problem, always call the helpline number sent on the product or the helpline number given on the official website of the company.

APP/SOFTWARE

Google Search contains many pseudo-apps or software that can potentially compromise your personal information, so use the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store directly to download any app. If you download any software, go to the official website of the company.

MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION

It is also very common for the church to start medications based on the symptoms of the disease, which can be dangerous. When you are sick, always take the medicine after seeing the doctor.

GOVERNMENT WEBSITE

One day now on Google, hackers are promoting government websites or websites by creating fake sites. People easily fall prey to these fake websites. The results of the government website will be written as gov.nic.in.

DO NOT BLINDLY BELIEVE MEDICAL, NUTRITION OR WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

Every human body is unique and functions differently. Therefore, do not always resort to Google’s advice on weight loss or other nutritional tips. If you want to change your diet, consult a dietitian. If you want to lose weight, consult a doctor first.

AVOID SEARCHING FOR COUPONS AND E-COMMERCE WEBSITES

Fake web pages that claim to be accessible on e-commerce websites are flooded with Google searches. People are luring some attractive fake offers and risking their online bank login details. So, if you find any ads that say this is a free coupon just for you – just leave it at that and leave it at that for me!

DO NOT BELIEVE THE PERSONAL FINANCE AND STOCK MARKET TIPS

Like health, personal finance is unique to everyone. There can never be an investment plan that makes everyone rich. So, avoid getting advice from Google search results when investing.
