These days many people on road side are deceiving people and selling the free SIMS and offer welfare charity schemes for free and require just the finger prints of the person. These fingerprints can be used in unauthenticated activities and person’s personal data can get leaked. With the help of these fingerprints and thumb prints, people can commit fraud by getting access to others’ identity card and important information. With this data, the person can be blackmailed or even severe crime of kidnaping is committed. The mobile phone numbers are retrieved and then fake SMS are sent on regular messenger or WhatsApp to get more information and money from the innocent person. Whenever a person submits his finger prints, he must keep these details with him if anything wrong happens in the future.
