India’s digital world has experienced a sharp rise in cybercrime, with reported incidents jumping by 31% between 2020 and 2022. Recent data from the National Crime Records Bureau’s “Crime in India” report highlights this worrying trend in the country’s online security.

Scammers warn about disconnection of services (e.g., phone or internet) and seek immediate action—ignore such calls. - Courier/Delivery Fraud
Calls or messages from fake courier companies like “FedEx,” asking you to press a number or provide details. - Impersonation by Authorities
Fraudsters pretending to be police officers, discussing Aadhaar or claiming you’re under “digital arrest.” - Drug Package Scams
Claims about illegal substances linked to your name in a fake package—do not engage. - Fake Overpayments
Scammers claim accidental UPI transfers and request refunds. Never process such transactions without verification. - WhatsApp/SMS Frauds
Messages with fake links or requests for sensitive details. Do not click or reply. - OTP Scams
