PM Modi Warns People Of Dangers Of ‘Digital Arrest Scam’, Shares 3 Step Approach To Digital Security
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged people to be aware about the psychological pressure tactics used by fraudsters in digital arrest scams and said that the government had taken a whole of government approach to curb the menace. Modi, in his Mann Ki Baat radio programme, also advised people to use a “stop, think and act” technique to counter scammers if they receive any such calls.“People from every class and age group fall victim to digital arrest. People have lost lakhs of rupees earned through their hard work, out of sheer fear. Whenever you receive such a call, don’t be scared. You should be aware that no investigative agency ever inquires like this through a phone call or a video call,” Modi said in the 115th episode of Mann Ki Baat.
“Thousands of such fraudulent video calling IDs have been blocked by the agencies. Lakhs of SIM cards, mobile phones and bank accounts have also been blocked. Agencies are doing their job, but for protection from scams in the name of digital arrest, it is very important that everyone is aware, every citizen is aware,” he said.
