Authorities are issuing warnings about a surge in various scams, particularly focusing on cryptocurrency fraud and job scams. Police have highlighted the 'Fake Investigator Scam,' which targets individuals by draining their accounts through deceptive practices. Cybercriminals are also employing sophisticated tactics, including fake SMS, emails, and websites, to exploit victims. In a related incident, a woman at Bengaluru Airport successfully sought help from India's emergency helpline after experiencing harassment from a fake cab driver. Additionally, law enforcement recently conducted a live rescue operation in Bhopal, saving a businessman from a 'Digital Arrest Scam' that involved a multi-crore financial fraud.
