In today's era, we have progressed so much based on technology that it is hard to believe when we look back. As good as the technology looks, fraudsters do not leave any opportunity to cheat people based on it. Breaking into people's bank accounts or cheating them in other ways, etc. In this episode, nowadays people are cheated by making deepfake videos of them or making a wrong video of them by making a video call on WhatsApp. If this happens to you or someone you know, then you can avoid it by taking some necessary steps because usually people get scared in such a situation. So let's know how you can avoid it and what you should do. You can know about this in the next slides...
What usually happens?
Some girls make objectionable calls to people and then make their videos. After this, people are blackmailed by sending that video, and money is demanded from them. Many people pay money out of fear, but you should not do this.
What should be done?
Do not give money
If you are getting a call and he is asking for money from you in exchange for not making your photo video viral, then never give money to such a person. You will feel that he will not make your video photo viral after taking money from you once, but he will ask for more money from you and will keep taking it until he cheats you completely. So never make this mistake.
Collect evidence
If someone is telling you that he will make your photo video viral and defame you, then first of all collect all the evidence in such a case. Like- from which number you are getting calls, what messages have come, and what photos or videos have been sent to you, etc.
Complain here
Now that you have collected evidence related to the whole matter, after this you have to go to a government website and register your complaint. This is the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal which is operated by the government and works to solve such cases. You have to register your complaint on this official website cybercrime.gov.in.
