Nowadays, the fraud called digital arrest is spreading rapidly in which thugs pretend to be officers of police or investigation agencies and scare people through video calls. They falsely allege that you are involved in some serious crime and transfer the money immediately to avoid arrest. Out of fear and panic, many people fall prey to their words and lose their hard-earned money.
According to a report, in the year 2024, the number of such cases will reach lakhs and the amount of fraud will also reach thousands of crores. In view of the increasing threat, a high level committee discussed this issue in detail. Officials from WhatsApp also participated in this meeting and gave information about their current security arrangements. The government clearly said that now there is a need to prepare a stronger system.
