6 Cyber Fraudsters Caught: Is Your Money Safe?

Faridabad Police arrested six people for a ₹50 lakh cyber fraud. These scammers used digital tricks to steal money from victims. Here's what you must know to protect your own bank account and savings.

Here's what happened: Faridabad Police arrested six individuals linked to a cyber fraud operation that stole ₹50 lakh from victims using digital deception tactics.. The gang used methods common to online financial fraud — likely impersonation of bank or government officials — to trick victims into handing over money or credentials.. The case highlights a growing pattern of organised cyber fraud rings operating across Indian cities, targeting ordinary account holders and digital payment users..

What you should do: Never share your OTP, CVV, UPI PIN, or Aadhaar OTP with anyone claiming to be from a bank, RBI, or government — no legitimate official will ever ask for these.. Report any unauthorised transaction to your bank immediately and file a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in or call helpline 1930 within 3 days to maximise your refund eligibility.. Check your bank account and UPI transaction history at least once a week — early detection is the single biggest factor in recovering stolen funds..

Under RBI's zero-liability policy, if you report an unauthorised transaction within 3 working days and the fraud was not your fault, your bank must refund the full amount — most victims don't know this deadline exists.
