In a romance scam, the request for money often comes only after weeks or months of building trust. Daily messages. Affection. Attention. Future promises. Then come secrecy, urgency, emotional pressure and the request for money or private information. Know the red flags before emotional grooming turns into fraud. Watch this and share it with someone who needs to know. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #RomanceFrauds

We thank IPS Shikha Goel Ma’am (Shikha Goel, IPS) - Principal Secretary- Home Department, Telangana Government; Director- Cyber Security Bureau & FSL, Telangana Police, for her invaluable support. As Ma’am rightly highlights, while technology has made our lives easier, it has also created serious cyber risks, especially for women and children. Most cyber crimes, however, are preventable with the right awareness, guidance and timely action. Over the years, her guidance has been instrumental in helping us conduct cyber safety workshops, create awareness on this critical subject and empower the general population with the right processes to stay safe online. It is the encouragement and support of authorities like her that inspires us and fuels our mission to make cyberspace safe for all. Once again, a big thank you to Ma’am. We remain committed to this cause. Jai Hind. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #IPSShikhaGoel #CyberSafety #India

A private photo shared in trust can be saved, forwarded, edited, or used for blackmail. Teach children never to share personal images under pressure. More importantly, make sure they can report such situations without fear, blame, or punishment. Preserve evidence and report immediately. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #Children

ADG Vishwas Nangre Patil Sir (Anti-Corruption, Maharashtra Police) talks about an incredibly important topic to spread awareness in the general population regarding cybercrime of “digital detention”. Criminals masquerading as senior law enforcement officials/ ED/ CBI officers are threatening innocent, vulnerable citizens with "online arrest" under bogus charges. They usually call on Whatsapp or Skype video calls with elaborate set up that indeed looks like a Government office. Please listen to Sir carefully and dont fall for these scammers. Report any such incident to 1930 immediately! Stay Aware, Stay Safe. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat #IPSVishwasNangrePatil #DigitalDetention #CyberSafety #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation

Screen sharing app scams are targeting senior citizens by pretending to be customer support for banks, bills, pensions, telecom, gas, electricity, or insurance services. One wrong call, one fake helpline number, and one installed app can give criminals full access to the phone, OTPs, banking apps, messages, and passwords.

War today spreads as fast through screens as it does across borders, and every unverified forward, AI generated visual, or recycled clip distorts reality, fuels panic, and can put lives at risk. Digital discipline is a national responsibility where restraint, verification, and responsible sharing matter more than speed. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety #VerifyBeforeYouShare

Family WhatsApp groups often become the fastest route for panic because messages are shared between people who trust each other. False health alerts, scam warnings, crisis rumours, old videos presented as current events, and unverified security messages can create fear long before anyone checks the facts. A few seconds of verification can prevent unnecessary anxiety from spreading across an entire family. Watch the video for more safety tips. #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #India #CyberSafety

Disappearing chats can create false confidence, but anything shared online can still be saved, recorded, forwarded, backed up, or misused before it vanishes. Treat every message as permanent, avoid sharing private images, OTPs, passwords, IDs, financial details, or confidential work information in casual chats, and teach children that vanishing messages do not remove consequences.

Fake Google Maps listings are being used to impersonate trusted services and trap people into advance payments, especially when they are searching in urgency for repairs, bookings, or customer support. These listings look professional, rank high, and push victims into quick payments before disappearing. Verification is critical as listings are not automatically genuine.
