Cybercrime is any criminal activity that involves a computer, networked device or a network.

The Messages we recieve from nowhere , the emails, Posts in social medias as advertisement for jobs. If a subject is very needy for human kind then there is scamming.

You can add examples as money, jobs, renting etc.

An SMS of a scammer

The people who are in need of it clicks the link and where the link goes to a page where it collects your personal data with or without your permission or a click. Most of the people do click on the links on the messages.

A bank never calls for your OTP or any service, A job cannot be achieved when there are millions unemployed.

India witnessed 13.91 Lakh cyber security incidents in 2022, Minister of State for Electronics and Information and Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar informed the Parliament on Friday (February 10).

This states that there are new ways of spamming and cheating will be held and the one who is being cheated is the normal people who work to there day to day life.

There are also other kind of cyber attacks such as Honey Traps where the persons are being blackmailed by sharing the screenshots etc. and people do pay the money.

In such situations all you have to do is to just report them to the nearest police station and just block the number. They Won’t post it anywhere in the social media as it could be trackable.
