Cyber fraud in India has surged dramatically, with losses reaching Rs 22,812 crore in 2024, marking a 900% increase over four years. Small cities such as Deoghar, Nuh, and Mathura are emerging as new hubs for these scams. Mumbai has been highlighted as a major center for cyber fraud, with criminals reportedly stealing Rs 12,000 crore in the past year alone. Various types of scams, including digital arrests, investment frauds, instant loan scams, and sextortion, are becoming increasingly prevalent. Authorities are urging citizens to remain vigilant and report cybercrimes through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal. Recent cases include a retired government official from Vijayawada who lost Rs 35 lakh due to fraudulent calls, and a retiree who lost their life savings after being convinced their bank account was compromised. The growing trend of cyber fraud has prompted law enforcement agencies to issue warnings and alerts to the public about various scams targeting vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly.
