Messages to forward on WhatsApp
Short, accurate and safe to forward to family groups. Each links to the full explainer.
Digital arrest (English)
No police, CBI or court arrests anyone on a video call. 'Digital arrest' does not exist in law. If someone keeps you on camera and asks for money, hang up and tell your family. Lost money? Call 1930. More: https://cybershitty.com/scams/digital-arrest
डिजिटल अरेस्ट (हिन्दी)
कोई पुलिस, CBI या कोर्ट वीडियो कॉल पर किसी को गिरफ्तार नहीं करती। कानून में 'डिजिटल अरेस्ट' जैसी कोई चीज़ नहीं है। कोई कैमरे पर रोककर पैसे मांगे तो फ़ोन काटें और परिवार को बताएं। पैसे गए? 1930 पर कॉल करें। पूरी जानकारी: https://cybershitty.com/hi/scams/digital-arrest
UPI and QR codes (English)
You never need to scan a QR code or enter your UPI PIN to receive money. Entering your PIN sends money out. If a buyer or 'refund desk' asks you to, it is a scam. More: https://cybershitty.com/scams/upi-qr-collect-fraud
UPI और QR कोड (हिन्दी)
पैसे पाने के लिए कभी QR कोड स्कैन करने या UPI PIN डालने की ज़रूरत नहीं होती। PIN डालने से पैसा आपके खाते से बाहर जाता है। कोई खरीदार या 'रिफ़ंड डेस्क' ऐसा कहे तो यह स्कैम है। पूरी जानकारी: https://cybershitty.com/hi/scams/upi-qr-collect-fraud
If you lost money (English)
Lost money online? 1) Call 1930 now. 2) Call your bank's fraud line and block card, UPI and net banking. 3) Complete the complaint on cybercrime.gov.in. Report fast: from 1 Jan 2027, reporting within 5 days matters for your refund. Bank numbers: https://cybershitty.com/help/bank-fraud-helpline-numbers
Fake e-challan / APK files (English)
A traffic challan never comes as an .apk file or a payment link on WhatsApp. Check real challans only on echallan.parivahan.gov.in. Never install an app someone sends you. More: https://cybershitty.com/post/fake-e-challan-traffic-fine-scam
