A surge in sophisticated scams targeting individuals globally has been reported, with fraudsters employing various methods to deceive victims. One prevalent scam involves impersonation of bank officials through caller ID spoofing, where fraudsters pose as legitimate representatives to extract sensitive information such as banking credentials. Another method exploits WhatsApp vulnerabilities, including the use of fake QR codes and social engineering tactics to gain unauthorized access to user accounts. Scammers are also using AI-enhanced fraud tactics to perfect their schemes, such as creating convincing scenarios to manipulate victims. Additionally, scams leveraging the digital landline switchover in the UK have been observed, where fraudsters falsely claim to represent telecom companies to extract payment details. The Wangiri scam, involving missed calls from international numbers to prompt victims to return the call, and the Jumped Deposit Scam, which exploits UPI payment systems, are also on the rise. Authorities and experts emphasize the importance of vigilance, advising individuals to avoid sharing personal information over unsolicited calls or messages, verify the authenticity of communications, and utilize security measures like two-factor authentication to protect accounts.
