Maharashtra Cyber Police Warns of Online Gaming Scams Targeting Kids

The Maharashtra Cyber Police have warned about online gaming scams that target children.

Scammers promise free gems, skins, or money to trick kids into sharing their personal information and making unauthorized purchases.

They use fake links and websites to steal login details and may also engage in toxic chat and grooming.

Parents and authorities are advised to educate children about these risks and to monitor their online activities.

Safe practices include downloading apps only from authentic sources, checking app permissions, and avoiding sharing personal information.

If any scam occurs, it should be reported to the game developer, payment provider, or the cybercrime authorities.
