Online scams have become smarter, sneakier, and scarily more convincing

Scams are no longer just about dodgy fake giveaways or suspicious API download links. These days, they look just like your bank, your favourite shopping site, or even your delivery rider.

If you shop online, sign up for apps, or keep getting OTPs and marketing texts you don't remember asking for, you might be more exposed than you realise.

Think you can spot a scam before it's too late? Take the quiz below to find out.

One of the ways scammers can get a hold of you is when your phone number is compromised

Even if you're careful, your phone number ends up in places you never intended, including online orders, new app sign-ups, and random giveaway forms. And once it's out there, it's out there.

That's when the shady calls, sketchy texts, and unwanted OTPs start rolling in. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone, but there is a smarter way to manage it.

Meet PrivateSIM by CelcomDigi, a dedicated eSIM-powered second line.

It's a tool designed for your privacy, so you can shop, sign up, and receive OTPs without ever exposing your personal number.

PrivateSIM by CelcomDigi is exclusively available to CelcomDigi Postpaid 80 and above. For just RM10 a month, you'll get an extra line that's perfect for privacy.

While it's not meant for regular browsing, you still get 1/GB per month for basic usage and free 20 mins of voice calls, more than sufficient for a second line.

Why use a second number?

• Protect your primary line: Use PrivateSIM for online shopping, form registrations, and app trials — keep your real number private.
  
• Spam-free shopping: No more mystery promos or endless SMS blasts from platforms you forgot you signed up for.
  
• Safer banking: OTPs stay on a separate line, away from your main call/message history.
  
• Short-term use, long-term control: Signing up for something temporary? Use PrivateSIM and deactivate when you're done.

However, do note that PrivateSIM does not block phishing links or fake calls, so you still need to beware of fraudulent behaviours that come your way.

All in all, PrivateSIM is a helpful privacy tool that adds another layer to your safety and security, for just RM10 a month!
