Nowadays, cases of cyber fraud are increasing rapidly. Fraudsters adopt new methods to scare people and then try to swindle money from them. Recently, a case came to light where cyber fraudsters tried to scare a lawyer by making a video call, but she gave a befitting reply to the fraudsters and exposed them.
These cyber criminals make video calls by claiming to be police officers or officers of some government institution. Then they threaten to implicate them in a false case and try to extort money by creating psychological pressure. These fraudsters mostly target the elderly, women, and people who are not very aware of technical matters.
In the viral video, a cyber fraud wearing a police uniform makes a video call to the lawyer. The fraudster asks the lawyer to move the 360 camera to see if any other third person is present and asks for interrogation. The fraud makes a fake case against the woman and says that someone has registered a SIM with your Gmail ID, and you are involved in the same case. However, the lawyer woman exposed the fraudsters by giving them a befitting reply.
The lawyer woman asking the fraudsters for those (fake) FIR copies makes the fraudsters understand that she has understood their concept, after which they disconnect the call. If you also get such cyber fraud calls, then some things need to be kept in mind, and precautions need to be taken. The first thing to keep in mind is that no police interrogation takes place through mobile calls.
These cyber fraudsters try to pressure you to transfer money, but you do not have to accept their demand. If they talk about getting you involved in a fake case, then first of all, ask for an FIR copy from them. These fraudsters will try to weaken you mentally by showing you the fear of immediate legal action. If you get any such call, do not panic, but be alert.
Many of us use social media and are cautious about such frauds, but the elderly in our homes or those who are not very familiar with the Internet can get trapped in the trap of these fraudsters. So, share this information with your family and friends.
