Dec 26, 2024
1. A Japanese national working in Bengaluru lost ₹3.55 million (~ 41.6K USD) to cyber fraudsters, who posed as Mumbai Police officers and placed him under "digital arrest", alleging his involvement in a money laundering case.
The term "Digital Arrest" describes a kind of sophisticated cyber fraud in which scammers use video conversations, emails, or text messages to pose as government or law enforcement officers. They coerce victims into making significant financial transfers or disclosing private information by threatening to arrest them or take legal action against them for supposed crimes including drug trafficking, money laundering, or internet fraud. In India, people reportedly lost about ₹1200 million (about $14 million) as a result of these frauds in the first quarter of 2024 alone.
Digital Arrest is not a legitimate legal concept and does not exist under Indian law.
