Between May 1, 2024, and May 31, 2024, the police successfully froze 4,09,23,217/- (over 4 crore) in various bank accounts linked to cyber fraudsters. This effort has directly benefited multiple victims who were deceived by different types of cybercrime.

This operation highlights the police’s dedication to protecting Hyderabad’s citizens from the increasing threat of cybercrime.

Public Advisory:

To safeguard against cyber fraud, the public is advised to follow these precautions:

  • Verify Sources: Always verify unsolicited calls, messages, or emails before sharing personal or financial information.
  • Official Websites: Check the status of any packages directly on the official FedEx website. Avoid clicking on links received via SMS, email, or WhatsApp.
  • No APKs: Do not install unknown APKs (Android application packages) on your mobile phone.
  • Job Offers: Ignore unsolicited part-time job offers through social media or messaging apps. Scammers on Telegram and WhatsApp often lure victims with easy part-time jobs like liking videos. They start with small payments to gain trust, then trick victims into sharing personal information or investing more money before disappearing with the cash.
  • Sensitive Information: Never share bank account details, passwords, or social security numbers with strangers or unverified entities.
  • Unknown Accounts: Do not deposit money into unknown bank accounts, even if contacted by someone claiming to be a law enforcement official. Officials do not initiate contact through Skype or demand money transfers to resolve issues.
  • Trading Frauds: Be wary of promises of high returns from trading stocks or investing in unknown applications. Only use platforms registered with SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India).

The Cyber Crime Police of Hyderabad City remains committed to combating cybercrime and protecting the financial interests of citizens. For any cyber financial fraud issues, immediately dial the Cyber Crime Helpline number 1930 or visit the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at cybercrime.gov.in.
