SlogansCyber safety and digital slogans
For cyber awareness weeks, bank and society notice boards and school computer labs. Each slogan carries one safe habit.
In India, cyber fraud can be reported on the national helpline 1930 and at cybercrime.gov.in (checked November 2026).

हिन्दी
ओटीपी किसी को न बताएँ, अपनी कमाई बचाएँ।
अनजान लिंक पर क्लिक नहीं, यही समझदारी सही।
बैंक कभी पिन नहीं पूछता, ठग हमेशा पूछता है।
लालच वाला संदेश, ठगी का संकेत।
पैसे लेने के लिए क्यूआर स्कैन नहीं करना होता।
बिना जाँचे आगे न बढ़ाएँ, अफ़वाह न फैलाएँ।
पासवर्ड मज़बूत रखें, खाता सुरक्षित रखें।
ठगी हो जाए तो घबराएँ नहीं, तुरंत 1930 पर फ़ोन करें।
सोचो, जाँचो, फिर साझा करो।
खाने की मेज़ पर फ़ोन नहीं, बातें चाहिए।
रुको, सोचो, फिर दबाओ।
जल्दबाज़ी ठग की सबसे अच्छी दोस्त है।
घबराओ मत, फ़ोन काटो, घर वालों से पूछो।
अनजान लिंक, बड़ा ख़तरा।
ओटीपी सिर्फ़ आपका है, किसी को मत बताओ।

Where these slogans are used
Bank branches and ATMs, society and office notice boards, school computer labs, senior citizens' clubs, and family WhatsApp groups. The people most in need of them are often parents and grandparents who have taken to phones recently, so write large, write simply, and write in the language they read.
Write your own
Each slogan should carry exactly one safe habit, in words anyone can act on. Do not share an OTP. Do not click a link from an unknown number. Do not scan a code to receive money. Do not install an app because a caller asked. Hang up and call the bank's own number. Check before you forward. Fraudsters depend on hurry and fear, so slogans that say "stop", "wait" and "ask someone" protect people best.

Facts on a poster must be checked
Fraud methods change every few months, and so do helplines and reporting websites. This page gives the national helpline and website as checked on the date shown at the top. Before printing a poster, confirm them again on an official government or bank website. Never copy a "helpline number" from a forwarded message or a search result advertisement, since fake helplines are one of the commonest tricks.
A line for the family group
The most useful digital safety message is a short one sent by a younger family member to the elders: "If anyone calls about your bank, card, KYC, parcel or police, cut the call and phone me first." It is not a slogan, but it has saved more money than any poster.
Using these slogans
- The three habits worth a poster each: never share an OTP, never click an unknown link, never forward without checking.
