Scammers often create urgency, demand immediate action, or request for personal or financial details. Unverified job offers, unexpected refund requests, threats of legal action, and offers that seem too good to be true are red flags. Always double-check with official sources before responding. Awareness is your best defence against digital frauds.

Fake payment scams often involve urgent messages about refunds, cashback, or accidental transfers. Scammers may send fake UPI or bank notifications and ask for your PIN to process" the refund. Always verify transactions through your bank’s official app or website. Remember, receiving money never requires you to enter your PIN.

If you receive a call threatening digital arrest, remember that authorities don't demand instant payments. Hang up and verify the call via official helplines. Never share OTPs or transfer money to unknown accounts. The Indian Government has repeatedly announced that there is no such thing as a digital arrest. It is only a scam attempt to steal your money and identity.

Scammers often lure job seekers with high salaries and ask for registration fees or personal details. Always verify job offers through the official company website. Genuine employers never ask for upfront payments. If an offer seems too good to be true, research thoroughly before sharing any personal information.

Digital frauds might be rising in India due to increased online transactions, social media usage, and evolving scam tactics. Cybercriminals use AI, phishing, and fake alerts to trick people into sharing sensitive information. With instant digital payments, money can be stolen within seconds. Staying informed and cautious is the best way to protect yourself from these scams.
