あらすじ・解説
A "digital arrest scam" in India refers to a type of online fraud where scammers pose as law enforcement officers or government officials and threaten victims with arrest, legal action, or penalties unless they pay a certain amount of money. These scams are designed to exploit people's fear of legal trouble and pressure them into paying to avoid supposed consequences.
What to Do if Targeted:
- Verify the Claims: Contact the official agency directly using publicly available contact information to verify if there is any legitimate issue.
- Do Not Pay: Never send money or provide personal information in response to such threats. Real law enforcement agencies do not demand payment over the phone or through digital methods.
- Report the Scam: Report the incident to the local police and the cybercrime division. You can also file a complaint on the Indian government's cybercrime portal.
