ही फसवणूक कशी होते ते पाहा

आढळलेले धोक्याचे संकेत · 0/4

  • A “police officer” contacts you on WhatsApp, Skype or a video call
  • You are told not to disconnect or tell anyone
  • Threat of immediate arrest for a parcel, SIM or account you do not recognise
  • Request to transfer money to a “safe” or “RBI” account for verification

हे कसे होते

It usually starts with a call about a parcel, a SIM card or a bank account “used in a crime”. The call is transferred to a fake officer, often on a video call from a room made to look like a police station, with uniforms and official-looking letters.

You are told you are under “digital arrest”, must stay on camera, must not tell your family, and must move your savings to a “safe government account” while you are investigated. The money goes straight to mule accounts.

There is no such thing as a digital arrest in Indian law. No agency questions or arrests people over WhatsApp or Skype, and no agency asks you to transfer money to prove your innocence.

धोक्याचे संकेत

  • A “police officer” contacts you on WhatsApp, Skype or a video call
  • You are told not to disconnect or tell anyone
  • Threat of immediate arrest for a parcel, SIM or account you do not recognise
  • Request to transfer money to a “safe” or “RBI” account for verification

काय करावे

  1. 1 Disconnect. A real agency sends a written notice and never asks for money
  2. 2 Tell a family member immediately — isolation is the scammer’s main weapon
  3. 3 If you paid, call 1930 at once and report at cybercrime.gov.in
  4. 4 Report the number on Sanchar Saathi (Chakshu) and mark it as fraud in SafeCaller

फसवणुकीत पैसे गेले?

लगेच 1930 वर कॉल करा — जितक्या लवकर तक्रार कराल, तितकी पैसे freeze होण्याची शक्यता जास्त. मग cybercrime.gov.in वर तक्रार नोंदवा.
