If you are a victim of digital arrest and cyber fraud, first dial the helpline toll-free number 1930. State Cyber Cell will take your complaint seriously and ensure immediate action.
answer : You get a call and are told that we are speaking to the police, narcotics department, CBI, ED or any other agency. We are placing you under digital arrest for the wrongs you have done. Now you will not do anything without our orders. Cyber frauds are hidden behind such things. They want to cheat you by luring you into their words.
Question : What should we do when we get a fake phone call?
Abhishek Tiwari, Sidhi
answer : If you feel that fake phone calls are coming then it would be wise not to answer any unknown calls. If someone calls repeatedly, block such suspicious numbers. If a girl is talking to you and asking you to click on a link, then do not listen to her words at all.
Question : I have become a victim of cyber fraud. But I am afraid to tell the family about this.
Rakesh Kumar, Gadha
answer : Don’t make such a mistake at all. First of all take the family into confidence. No matter how serious the matter may be, your true companions are your family members. They will help you in many ways including mental help to get you out of trouble. Keeping a secret makes the problem worse instead of being solved. You may even go into depression. Whereas once you get the support of your family, you can find a way to recover with the help of the police.
Question : What to do when you get a call from plus two three number.
Mukesh Tiwari, Katni
answer : Telecom companies have provided other facilities including DND. With their help one can be protected from such unwanted calls. Therefore they should be activated.
Question : If the electricity bill is not paid, the connection will be disconnected, such a message also comes. Is this a method of cheating?
Manpreet Singh, Vijay Nagar
answer : Of course, the electricity department does not send such messages immediately if you do not pay the electricity bill. Your electricity connection is not disconnected suddenly. If the bill for one or two months is not deposited, it gets added to the bills of the next months.
