Do not disclose to anyone and for any reason e-Banking login codes, One-Time Codes (OTP) that you receive by message on your mobile phone (SMS, Viber), your card details, as well as your personal and financial details, even under pretext that this is how they will deposit money to you.

Cross check the account number with your supplier or customer you are dealing with before making any payment.
