Detailed explanation-1: -Never click links that appear in the message. Links embedded within phishing messages direct you to fraudulent websites. Do not reply to the sender. Ignore any requests the sender may solicit and do not call phone numbers provided in the message.
Detailed explanation-2: -Don’t reply to spam If you reply to spam, the spammer or the automated program on the other end will know that your address is connected to a live person, and the spammer will then bombard you with even more spam, and circulate your address to other spammers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stop all contact with the scammer Once you realise you are being scammed, do not continue the conversation. Hang up the phone. Don’t reply to emails or letters scammers have sent you. If you have been scammed online, block the scammer from contacting you.
