Top 6 Active Threat Vectors

Cybercriminals are constantly evolving. Watch out for these highly effective scams.

Smishing & Phishing

Fake texts posing as FedEx, Banks, or Income Tax dept saying "Your account is locked" or "Delivery failed".

Defense:
Never click direct links. Always use official apps or type the URL manually.
Fake Tech Support

Pop-ups claiming "Your PC is infected! Call this number." or fake customer care numbers placed via Google Ads.

Defense:
Never call numbers from pop-ups. Never install screen-sharing apps like AnyDesk.
Task/Job Fraud

WhatsApp messages offering money to "like YouTube videos". They eventually ask you to deposit money for "premium tasks".

Defense:
Real jobs pay you, you don't pay them. Block and report such numbers instantly.
Crypto / Investment Scams

Fake trading apps or "experts" on Instagram promising 200% returns in 3 days. Once invested, you can never withdraw.

Defense:
Only use SEBI/Govt registered brokers. High returns always mean high risk of fraud.
Pig Butchering (Romance)

Scammer builds a romantic relationship over months on dating apps, then convinces the victim to invest in a fake crypto platform.

Defense:
Never send money or invest based on advice from an online romance.
QR Code Scam (Quishing)

Fraudsters place fake QR codes over real ones at shops or parking meters. Scanning them takes you to a fake payment page.

Defense:
Check the name before entering UPI PIN. UPI PIN is ONLY used to send money, not receive.
