Govt Asks WhatsApp To Block Device IDs Used in ‘Digital Arrest’ Scams
India me badhte cyber fraud ke cases ko dekhte hue government ne ek bada step liya hai। Govt ne WhatsApp se kaha hai ki wo un devices ke IDs block kare jo “digital arrest” scams me use ho rahe hain।
Kya Hai Digital Arrest Scam?
Is scam me fraudsters:
- Police ya agency ban kar call karte hain
- Victim ko darate hain ki wo kisi crime me involve hai
- Video call par “fake arrest” dikhate hain
- Fir paise transfer karne ko bolte hain
Aise scams me log lakhon rupaye gawa rahe hain।
Govt Ne Kya Action Liya?
Home Ministry ke under ek high-level committee ne WhatsApp ko kuch major instructions diye:
- 📵 Scam me use hone wale device IDs block karo
- 🤖 AI se fake accounts aur impersonation detect karo
- ⚠️ Suspicious calls ke liye warning system lao
- 📂 Deleted accounts ka data kuch time tak store rakho
WhatsApp ne inme se kuch steps implement karne ke liye agree bhi kiya hai।
Kyun Zaruri Hai Yeh Step?
Reports ke mutabik India me:
- Thousands of cases har saal report ho rahe hain
- Crores ka financial loss ho raha hai
- Same fraudsters baar-baar naye accounts bana lete hain
Device ID block hone se repeat offenders ko rokna easy ho jayega।
Users Ko Kya Dhyan Rakhna Chahiye?
- Koi bhi “police” ya “agency” WhatsApp par paise nahi maangti
- Unknown video call se darne ki zarurat nahi
- Personal details kabhi share na karein
- Suspicious case turant cyber helpline 1930 par report karein
