Shock SMS ultimatums about power disconnection at houses, offices and stores in the middle of night. Business and work-from-home offers sound too good to be true. Messages and emails asking smartphone users to tap links of fly-by-night sites.
If all that wasn’t enough, cyber cheats are now preying upon intimate imagery to shame – and blackmail – their victims.
India Today’s ground report in Jharkhand’s Jamtara, one of the most notorious hotspots of digital fraud that has even inspired a Netfilx series, has found scammers have become more organized and innovative.
Jamtara recorded 76 cases of cybercrime in 2021 alone. The cyber police in the Jharkhand district has already registered 60 similar complaints this year till now.
As risks of digital fraud mount, local businesses are taking the brunt. Many rather prefer conventional transactions.
