In this eye-opening video, DIG Sanjay Shintre recounts a real-life cybercrime case where a senior citizen was scammed through Aadhaar card misuse and personal impersonation.
A scammer, pretending to be a law enforcement official, falsely claimed that the elderly person's Aadhaar was linked to illegal activities. By creating fear and urgency, the scammer manipulated the senior into revealing confidential information and eventually stole money from their account.
DIG Shintre breaks down how such scams operate—using impersonation of government officials, family members, or bank authorities—and why seniors are often easy targets. He also shares key cyber safety measures that can help citizens, especially the elderly, stay protected in a digitally connected world.
✅ Never share Aadhaar details, OTPs, or personal information over unsolicited calls or messages.
📞 Report cyber frauds immediately by calling 1930 (Rest of India) or 1905 (Maharashtra).
🔒 Track and block your mobile devices via Sanchar Saathi, a government portal for digital safety.
Stay informed. Stay alert. Protect your loved ones from online fraud.
