3 Preventive Trick

Scammers often deceive victims into installing fake applications, which result in their mobile devices being controlled by the scammers through a service called "Accessibility" and engaging in various unauthorized transactions without the user's consent. If you don't want to fall victim to this, try following these steps.

1. Download applications only through the App Store or Play Store.
2. Check if your mobile device has the application working under "Accessibility." If it does, promptly disable its usage.
3. For Android users, enable Google Play Protect to scan for potentially harmful app installations. If any are detected, promptly uninstall them.
