- No bank requests personal data related to your account. They also say not to tell any bank-related passwords to a bank representative.

- Do not share your OTP with a person who pretends to be a bank representative.
- Pick up the customer service number by visiting the bank. Feed it into your mobile phone. Don’t google the number.
