A practical stop plan

  • Remove saved payment methods and uninstall risky apps.
  • Ask your bank about card, UPI or merchant controls.
  • Tell one trusted person what is happening.
  • List essential expenses before any discretionary spending.
  • Block promotional contacts and suspicious domains.
  • Seek professional support when stopping feels difficult.

For family and friends

Lead with safety, not shame

Choose a calm time. Describe the behaviour you have noticed, protect shared finances, avoid paying unknown “recovery” services, and encourage professional help. If there is immediate danger or risk of self-harm, contact local emergency services.
