Fraudsters may call you and ask you to renew KYC, transfer funds, etc. …
They may ask you to click on any link or download remote desktop applications. There are so many big and small names in remote desktop applications.
Never click on any new apps invite link
Think many times before accepting such apps. Most of these apps open gateways to the hacker community. Take enough time to review before clicking these invites.

Fraudsters may ask you to share your secret user credentials, which enable the fraudster to access your computer devices
When you accept any such requests, your computer device access is compromised. In most cases, the apps allow hackers to access/see your device's PIN and carry out unauthorized transactions.
Never share your PIN or password credentials to anybody
Therefore, stop the habit of clicking any new invite to accept to install an app. If you give sufficient time to reviewing an app before accepting, the chances of compromising your computer devices are less.
