Coronavirus is spreading in the country at this time. Every person tries to get a vaccine. However, getting an appointment for a vaccine can be a bit difficult at this time. In such a situation, the fraudsters have found a new way of hunting people. In fact, Kovid-19 is being cheated online with people in the name of vaccination. So if you don’t even want to get caught up in such a fraud, then keep in mind the things mentioned below.
Calls are coming in the name of getting a vaccine slot
Be careful if you get a phone in the name of getting a vaccine slot. The government or any NGO does not give slots by calling. You can also ask for money in the name of help. Or you can clear the account by downloading an app like Enidesk.
Tell them to download the app by message or email
If you receive an SMS or email that you are getting a vaccine slot by downloading the app, understand that it is a hoax. In this way, you download a fake application that may steal your data. Keep in mind that you should only use the Covin website or the Health Bridge app for the vaccine.

Don’t say Covin is a 4-digit security code
The government recently introduced 4-digit security on the Kovin platform to ensure only registered citizens get the vaccine. This 4-digit security code is only communicated to Vaccine Center employees. Also don’t share it with anyone. No government official will ask you about this code over the phone.
