Cyber Fraud Alert: Recently, delhi.police_official revealed a new technique for cyberfraud that targets gullible people on Instagram. The post alerts readers to be wary of phony callers posing as police cybercell representatives and claiming that calls made from the victim’s phone are being used to harass girls.
Threat of Warrant
The technique entails the caller threatening to issue a warrant if the victim doesn’t comply with specific demands. This strategy seeks to create fear in the victim and force them to follow the caller’s instructions.
Delhi Police advises people in such a situation to maintain their composure and take preventative measures to avoid becoming victims of this scam. In order to confirm the caller’s legitimacy, you must first ask for their name, posting, and designation. Don’t share OTPs (one-time passwords) or any other sensitive information, including debit or credit card information.
Immediate Reporting
If financial fraud has already happened, people are encouraged to report the incident right away by calling 1930. Authorities can take the required steps to prevent additional harm and capture the people responsible for these fraudulent activities with the aid of prompt reporting.
Through the dissemination of this information on social media platforms such as Instagram, Delhi Police hopes to increase public awareness regarding the evolving strategies used by cybercriminals. It emphasizes how crucial it is to be watchful and take preventative action to protect oneself from falling for cyberfraudulent schemes.
