A rise in cyber fraud has been reported globally, particularly in India, where scammers are employing various tactics to deceive individuals. A retired professor in India lost over $16,000 due to fraudsters impersonating police, a method referred to as 'digital arrest' scams. In Bengaluru, a 60-year-old technology professional fell victim to a scam that cost him ₹2.8 crore when scammers posed as bank officials and sent him a phone rigged with a cloning app, allowing them to gain control of his bank account. Additionally, a poor farmer in Belgaum, Karnataka, was swindled out of ₹1.5 lakh after being tricked into providing an OTP under the pretense of completing KYC verification. The increasing sophistication of these scams, including methods like caller ID spoofing and SIM swapping, has prompted discussions about the need for stronger consumer protections. A new House bill has been introduced in response to the growing threat of deceptive robocalls, which are becoming more advanced through the use of artificial intelligence.
