Even if someone steals money because your contact details were leaked in a database breach, you are fully protected if you report it to your bank within three days.<\/p>\n<p>That is why banks often fight back if a customer voluntarily typed an OTP or entered a UPI PIN.<\/p>\n<p>Here are two rules you must follow if money ever disappears from your account:<\/p>\n<p>First, call 1930 and notify your bank within two hours. This is the golden window when banks can freeze the scammer&#8217;s account before they withdraw your cash.<\/p>\n<p>Second, file a formal complaint with the National Cyber Crime portal so you have proof in writing. <br \/><br \/>To make sure your family never loses sleep over bank disputes, use the CYBX app.<\/p>\n<p>CYBX was developed by 63SATS to protect everyday smartphone users.
