DIG warns public to stay vigilant against cyber frauds

Kurnool: Kurnool Range DIG Dr. Koya Praveen urged the public to stay vigilant against cybercrimes and adopt necessary precautions. He emphasised avoiding clicking on unknown links and clarified that digital arrests do not exist. Dr. Praveen cautioned that no legitimate bank asks for OTPs, and people should never share them with anyone. He warned against falling for online investment scams promising to double money and advised against taking loans from fake loan apps that operate through social media and phone calls. These apps often offer loans without proper background checks or documents and may ask for repayment of larger amounts than borrowed. They may even threaten victims by morphing their photos into obscene images and sending them to their contacts. If anyone becomes a victim of cybercrime, Dr. Praveen urged them to immediately call Dial 1930 or report the incident at www.cybercrime.gov.in for assistance.
