Beware of Fake Status-Check Websites
- 🚫 Only two domains are official: socialregistry.wb.gov.in and socialsecurity.wb.gov.in
- 🚫 Watch for lookalike domains (.com, .org.in, .gob.in) — these are NOT official
- 🚫 Status checks are always FREE — কোনো ফি নেই
- 🚫 Never share your Aadhaar OTP with anyone, including callers claiming to be government staff
- 🚫 WhatsApp/YouTube links promising “instant status check” are phishing attempts
