Someone is using my number for OTPs non-stop – not my account, not my transactions. What should I do legally?

Hey everyone, need some advice here.

Since today afternoon, I’ve been getting continuous OTPs from multiple platforms – banks, loan apps, e-commerce, everything. Literally back-to-back within minutes. It’s clearly not normal.

The problem is:

I am not a customer, not a user, and not involved in any of these transactions at all. I have zero connection with whatever is happening.

From what I understand, someone (I suspect a specific person) has used my number for these activities without my consent. It’s causing constant disturbance and honestly feels risky in terms of fraud or identity misuse.

I’ve already:

Taken screenshots of all OTPs

Filed a complaint on the cyber crime portal

Planning to file FIR as well

What else should I do immediately to protect myself?

If anyone has faced something similar or has legal knowledge, please guide.
