Scam Prevention Tips

Protect yourself from online fraud and financial scams.

Common Scams in Bangladesh

  • Fake Job Offers — promises of high-paying jobs abroad requiring upfront fees
  • Lottery Scams — messages claiming you have won a prize and must pay to claim it
  • Phishing — fake bank or bKash/Nagad pages designed to steal your login
  • Romance Scams — fake relationships built to eventually request money
  • Investment Fraud — too-good-to-be-true crypto or MLM schemes

How to Protect Yourself

  • Never send money to someone you have not met in person
  • Verify job offers through official company websites
  • Never share your OTP, PIN, or password with anyone
  • Call your bank directly if you receive suspicious messages
  • Check sender email addresses carefully for typos
