🚨 Beware of Digital Arrest Scams!

🚔 This scam begins with the victim receiving a call from fraudsters impersonating law enforcement officers, claiming they are involved in illegal activities. They show fake court documents and digital arrest warrants via video call and demand fines to avoid arrest.

💡Don’t panic! No legal provisions allow a digital arrest. Stay calm, verify the caller, and report them to the cybercrime portal.

🚨 Social media ads are now a common tool for scammers, leading users to fraudulent sites & stealing personal info. While platforms push self-regulation, the debate grows on legal liability for #disinformation vs. freedom of #expression.

�� Many countries have early-stage regulations, leaving gaps in online safety. Citizens must stay vigilant against social media scams:

✅Verify credibility of online ads
🚩 Report suspicious activity
📚 Engage in digital literacy programs to navigate safely

Stay informed & protect yourself! 🛡️

If someone travels back in time and shows the movie RRR to the people of 1920, there would be many more roars, rises and revolts. This movie would make u want to go back in time and become a weapon in the Indian freedom struggle. @RRRMovie @ssrajamouli @tarak9999 #RRRMovie
