  • Digital Arrest Scam Explained: Don’t Be the Next Victim | Vantage with Palki Sharma
    In today’s digital era, scams are evolving fast, targeting our fears and vulnerabilities. A shocking case from Mumbai reveals how scammers posed as police officers, duping a 77-year-old woman out of ₹3.8 crore by claiming her Aadhaar was linked to drugs. This "digital arrest" scam involved constant video calls, fake uniforms, and fear tactics. It's part of a larger trend-Indians lost over ₹2,140 crore this year alone to such scams. How do these scams work? How can you keep yourselves safe? Palki Sharma tells you.

    I got the same call a few years ago. I tried reporting it to cyber crime dept. They said if you didn't loose money, they wont take a complaint. What's the point of policing if they aren't proactive? Scammers have absolutely no fear because they are pretty sure that they are never going to be punished

      ​ @Sunil-xv8tj The whole thing is a con. It's well executed from start to finish. Fear is the element that these scammer rely on. They tell you that there is some unusual activity with your account and is under CID's scanner and all. They connect with the victim one by one as different govt employees and they make sure that the victim is isolated as well. It's only as good as gullible the victim is. The final act is where this gets real Italian job like, they first create a bank account for you in another bank, they then ask you to bring the cheque book by telling they are going to move the money to a safe place until the investigation is done and then they ask you to visit the branch, the branch is a place that they setup specifically for the scam, it's just a bank for 1 day, the next day it's just empty space for To-Let. They take the cheque at the fake bank, and you are successfully scammed. My father almost fell to this, he was so terrified the whole time. I took the phone from him when he told me that he was in a CID investigation and told the person on other side of the phone `bsdk phone rakh`. Took my father to police station after the incident to get him educated on this kinds of scams. Police were also helpful as they told my father why they don't call anyone and only send summons to the station and all that. Lesson for me was to make sure, the elders are up to date with these kinds of scams as they tend to be more naïve and guliable. So now, I share all these videos that are exposing the day-to-day scams with the family. The times we live in😂😂.

    This highlights how Indian middle- and lower-class citizens often fear the police, CBI, and similar agencies-a perception shaped by their interactions with the public. I strongly believe these agencies should work to transform this image by becoming allies to law-abiding citizens. The common man should feel reassured that the police are there to protect and assist, not live in fear of unnecessary harassment or mistreatment. FRAUDSTERS USE THIS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
