Recently, PM Modi had also advised people not to get misled and to remain alert. According to government data, from January to April 2024, India has also suffered a financial loss of about Rs 120.3 crore due to the ‘Digital Arrest’ scam.
While explaining how to keep yourself safe from this scam, PM Modi said, “If ever you get such a call, you do not have to be afraid. You should know that no investigating agency will conduct such inquiries on phone call or video call. Never does.”
The PM said, “You can avoid such fraud people and can also complain about them through three steps – stop, think and take action.” The PM said that whenever you get such a call, you do not have to be afraid. We have to wait a bit, then think carefully about it and then take action.”
