You are under digital arrest! How fake cop scams draining victimsโ€™ bank accounts
Medial

Digital arrest scams are on the rise in India, with scammers posing as officials from law enforcement agencies and coercing victims into paying large sums of money to avoid legal trouble. The scams start with a phone call alerting the victim to a parcel containing illegal substances or accusing them of criminal activity. The scammers then video call the victims, level false charges, and order them to stay at home under 'digital arrest'. The victims are instructed not to contact anyone and are then coerced into making online transfers to the scammers. These scams have led to significant financial losses and highlight the need for stricter regulations and awareness among the public.
