Khammam CP Intensifies Drive Against Cyber Fraudsters
Imagine some people are trying to trick you into giving them your money by promising you can get rich quickly.
The police chief in Khammam, India, is warning everyone about these tricksters.
They create fake websites and apps that look like real places to invest money, especially for new stock offerings called IPOs.
They send links on apps like WhatsApp and Facebook, saying you can buy cheap shares and make a lot of money fast.
Sometimes they even show you small profits at first to make you trust them, then ask for more money.
The police chief says this is a scam!
They take your money, shut down the fake website, and disappear.
He is telling everyone to be very careful, check official websites before investing, and never send money to people you don't know or through strange links, especially if they ask for 'advance payments' or 'registration fees'.
Khammam Commissioner of Police Sunil Dutt warns of increasing cyber fraud through fake online trading apps and websites.
Cybercriminals lure investors with promises of high profits for low investments using fake IPO offers.
Fraudsters use social media, WhatsApp, Telegram, and emails to circulate links and collect bank details or UPI payments.
Victims are often shown initial small returns to build trust before being asked for larger investments.
Citizens are urged to verify IPO details on official SEBI, NSE, or BSE websites and avoid sending advance payments or registration fees.
