Alert: Fake Calls and Emails Alerting Citizens to Cybercrime Threats
Fraudsters are increasingly using fake calls and emails to impersonate officials from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). These scammers claim that the recipient`s IP address is linked to a cybercrime and threaten legal action unless a fine is paid.
Key Points to Remember:
- The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) will never send emails or make calls requesting payment for fines.
- If you receive such an email, do not respond or make any payments. Instead, report the incident to report.phishing@sbi.co.in for immediate action.
- If you receive such a call or email, immediately report it to 1930 or visit cybercrime.gov.in.
Stay alert and protect your personal information from such fraudulent activities.
