Google warning! If you get these messages, delete them immediately, otherwise hackers will empty your bank within minutes.

According to reports, millions of spam messages are being sent every day in America and Europe which are designed to defraud people. These messages contain content that encourages the user to immediately click on a link or share personal information.

According to Google, Android phone security systems block billions of spam calls and messages every month, while Gmail blocks approximately 99.9% of spam emails. However, some spam messages escape this filter. On the other hand, Apple has also added new features to its iOS system like call screening and message filters, which block suspicious links or messages. Despite this, cases of cyber fraud are increasing rapidly and hackers find new methods every time.

According to a report by Forbes, these fake messages are often sent with excuses like “Your toll payment failed”, “Your parcel could not be delivered” or “Click on the link to get a refund”. As soon as the user clicks on these links, his personal data and bank details reach the hackers. It has also been revealed that most of such messages are sent by foreign networks or criminal gangs who change their numbers frequently so that the system cannot block them.

Google has also said that even though the security of Android is now stronger than before, it does not mean that users are completely safe. The FBI has advised that any message coming from a suspicious or unknown number should be deleted immediately. These messages are called smishing which is the mobile version of phishing. If you click on such a link by mistake, then immediately check your bank account, change the password and if necessary, file a complaint in cyber crime.

Remember, no legitimate institution or bank ever asks for OTP, password or account details through message. In such a situation, if you see any suspicious message, be alert and delete it immediately. A little carelessness can cause you huge losses whereas with caution you can completely protect yourself from cyber fraud.
