Very timely advise indeed. I also wish to caution you friends, don't ever install apps namely 'quick support' and 'anydisk' we in RBI get hundreds of mails/phones in the office informing us of frauds people encounter. Use your debit/credit cards wisely. And don't install any app for furnishing your KYC requirements. Please keep your city cyber cell's contact ready in case of financial fraud.
