This digital threat isn’t just about money; it’s about fear.
Imagine getting a message saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay up. Wouldn’t you panic?
Most often, the fraudsters claim to be officials and pretend to have the power to arrest you if you don’t meet their demands.
In a recent scam, people were tricked into believing they spoke to law enforcement agents who needed their banking details for an urgent investigation.

You might find yourself in such a situation at any moment; what would you do?
Stay calm and do this simple act of not sharing your information.
Report the incident to your local authorities or through cybercrime portals to ensure others don’t fall victim.
Cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls; it’s about awareness.
