Digital Arrest is a scam!

There is no such thing as a Digital Arrest in Law!

What is a Digital Arrest scam?   Scammers impersonate police officers or government officials on voice calls or video calls, threatening Digital Arrest, claiming that your name is linked to a crime

Crimes that fraudsters can link you to   •   Illegal drug parcels found in customs   •   Suspicious or fraudulent banking transactions   •   Money laundering activities   •   Terrorist financing   •   Tax evasion cases

How to spot a Digital Arrest scam   •   Sudden threats of arrest - first ‘digitally’, then physically   •   Fake evidence like Digital Arrest warrants or forged court orders   •   Unexpected video calls from unknown callers   •   High pressure tactics such as fear, urgency and repeated calling   •   Demands for immediate payment to avoid arrest   •   Fraudsters stop victims from contacting family or friends to prevent any guidance   •   Fraudsters convince victims to appear calm and behave normally to avoid suspicion when withdrawing money from a Branch

How to stay safe   •   Do not panic - there is nothing like Digital Arrest   •   Never trust unsolicited calls claiming to be from law enforcement agencies   •   No genuine law enforcement official will ask for money transfers or interrogate via video calls   •   Do not make any payments under pressure

Report   Any online interaction that asks for money, creates urgency or requests secrecy is a red flag.   •   Report online fraud on the National Cyber Crime portal at cybercrime.gov.in, call on the helpline number 1930 or call ICICI Bank’s helpline on 1800 2662   •   If you have received any malicious / phishing / suspicious e-mails or calls, please report these to Sanchar Saathi at sancharsaathi.gov.in and to ICICI Bank at antiphishing@icicibank.com
