Digital arrest: Beware of the new cyber scam that alleges you of serious crime to extort money

How the new scam works

Message: The scammers establish initial contact through an SMS, email or a WhatsApp text. The message states that the recipient's name or phone number is linked to criminal acts like pornography, drug peddling, or money laundering. They are instructed to call a specific number to avoid ‘digital arrest'.

Video call: Next, the scammers initiate a video call over platforms like Skype or WhatsApp, posing as officials from agencies like Maharashtra police, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), or Customs. They use appropriate uniforms, props like govt flags, logos, or VHF radio sounds to make the video call look legitimate.
