Fraudsters posing as police/CBI threatening digital arrest. No such thing exists in law.
What is This Scam?
Scammers impersonate law enforcement agencies (police, CBI, customs) via video calls, claiming you're involved in illegal activities. They threaten 'digital arrest' and demand immediate payment to avoid legal action. This is completely fake - no such legal provision exists.
How to Protect Yourself
- There is no concept of 'digital arrest' in Indian law
- Law enforcement never conducts investigations via video calls
- Never transfer money to avoid arrest or legal action
- Disconnect the call and report to local police immediately
- Real legal notices come through proper channels, not video calls
