Madurai city police launch awareness campaign against cyber frauds, educating people on common scams and prevention methods.
With cyber frauds on the rise, in which gullible people, including well-educated, are losing huge money, Madurai city police have launched an awareness campaign against such frauds.
The city police have put up huge flex boards in attractive red colour at vantage points across the city.
“Since, most of the cybercrimes are occurring only because of lack of awareness among the people, we have begun this campaign. Besides, the victims could also know how to act quickly to lodge complaints so that they could increase their chances of getting back the lost money,” said Commissioner of Police J. Loganathan.
The police have put up three types of boards -- one to popularise the toll-free number 1930 and website www.cybercrime.gov.in to lodge and two lists different types of cybercrimes in vogue through a - e-booklet.
The third board has awareness videos on cybercrime by Director General of Police Shankar Jiwal and film actor Karthi.
The Commissioner said that the very common way of duping the people by cyber criminals is investment frauds through social media like offering part-time jobs, investment in share-market and marketing.
The other popular type of crime is digital arrests by criminals who make video calls posing as CBI and customs officer.
