The method of cyber fraud has changed in India. Every day people are being extorted money by blackmailing them in new ways. Blackmailing is being done by editing pictures and videos. This is a new method of online fraud. These cyber thugs extract people's photos and videos from social media and then edit them with nude or adult content and ask for money. In today's report, we will tell you ways to avoid such scams or frauds.
Do this work first
If any such incident happens to you, then inform your friends about it and also share the information about this incident with your family members.
Don't make the mistake of giving money
Never make the mistake of giving money due to fear of such blackmailing, because once you give money, you will not be able to get rid of it. These blackmailers will ask you for money again and again.
Seek helpline help
If such an incident occurs, lodge an FIR with proof at the nearest police station. Apart from this, go to the handle of X (formerly Twitter) @Cyberdost and give complete information in the message. You can also complain about this by dialing number 1930.
Keep screenshots
If someone is trying to blackmail you by misusing your photos, then keep a screenshot of all the messages received from him, because these people delete the account after some time. In such a situation you will be left with no evidence.
Do not delete the message
If any such incident happens to you, do not make the mistake of deleting the message. These messages will be very useful as evidence. In this way, deleting the message means that you are deleting the evidence yourself.
