Imagine your phone ringing on a lazy Saturday. The caller claims to be from FedEx, but within minutes, you're facing a 'police officer' on a video call, accused of smuggling. This is the terrifying reality of the digital arrest scam, India's newest cyber threat. Richa, a journalist who was held digitally hostage by scammers for two grueling hours, recounted: "They made me feel like my whole life was falling apart." Trapped in a virtual prison, Richa was forced to provide updates every two hours under threat of arrest. This scam by courier company imposters isn't isolated. The National Capital Region reported 600 cases in three months, each involving losses exceeding Rs 20 lakh. Scammers exploit victims' fear and confusion, often armed with personal details gleaned from Aadhaar data breaches. Listen to the victim's story and know how these scams work.
