About this listen
In this episode, we uncover one of India’s most terrifying and sophisticated cyber frauds — the Digital Arrest scam that shook the nation and led to a ₹7 crore financial loss for a highly respected senior citizen.
Fraudsters posing as CBI and Enforcement Directorate officials trapped the victim in a fake investigation, staged a virtual courtroom, sent forged arrest warrants, and kept him under 24/7 video surveillance, threatening arrest under serious charges. Under fear and isolation, the victim was coerced into transferring crores of rupees as “bail money”.
🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
What exactly is a Digital Arrest scam
How scammers impersonate CBI, ED, and even the Chief Justice
Why video calls, fake courtrooms & forged documents feel real
How isolation and fear override rational thinking
Why even educated, successful people fall victim
What to do if someone says “You are under investigation”
How to report such frauds via 1930 & Cybercrime Portal
This episode is a must-listen for senior citizens, families, bankers, students, and professionals, because cybercrime today targets the mind before it targets money.
🚨 Remember: No police, CBI, ED, or court can arrest you over a video call.
