NITU KUMARI 19 Mar 2025 Introduction:- Fraudsters impersonating police personnel in Mumbai caused an 86-year-old woman to lose more than ₹20 crore. From December 26, 2024, until March 3, 2025, the con artists tricked her into moving funds to multiple accounts by claiming that her Aadhaar card had been fraudulently used. If she didn’t comply, they threatened to take her and her family to court. After being put under “digital arrest,” the victim was unable to speak about the circumstances. The woman informed the police about the fraud after she became aware of it. The people implicated have been arrested after authorities tracked down the money transactions. The public has been cautioned by officials to be on the lookout for these types of scams. They stressed that neither UIDAI representatives nor the police request personal information or remote device access. They suggested that individuals report strange calls to UIDAI’s helpdesk at 1947 and disconnect them right away. Even with ongoing awareness initiatives, a lot of individuals still fall for these types of frauds. Psychologists and investigators point out that scammers employ psychological tricks to trick even tech-savvy people. Scammers frequently pose as law enforcement officials and tell victims that they have pending warrants or illicit goods in their names. To avoid being arrested, they demand payment or verification right away. “Using forceful tones and fake phone numbers, scammers pretend to be government agents or law enforcement officers in order to obtain personal and financial information from their victims. According to a senior cyber cell officer, scammers take advantage of the victim’s spiraling fear to control their behavior and instill a false sense of obligation. Investigators advise avoiding unwanted calls, confirming the callers’ identities, and never disclosing financial or personal information. They advise disregarding reports that say drugs were discovered in packages connected to the victim. “Tell your friends and family that there is nothing like digital arrest,” said a senior police official. Simply spread the message because preventing these socially planned crimes requires awareness. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as sadalawpublications@gmail.com. Edit your profile. Log out?
