Check Where a Form Opens
Before entering an ID number or mobile number, confirm whether the form is actually using the recognised status service. Do not assume an app is official because it uses grant-related wording.
Avoid APK Links From Messages
Install apps only from a trusted app store. Files sent through WhatsApp, Telegram or unknown websites can contain malware.
You Do Not Need an App
An app is optional. A browser-based status check or another recognised channel can be used instead.
