Digital arrest scams in India involve scammers posing as law enforcement, claiming falsely that victims are implicated in serious crimes. They manipulate victims psychologically by inducing fear and using false evidence, demanding large sums of money for their release from a fabricated digital custody. This scam has resulted in significant financial losses, with estimates indicating up to $210 million lost. The psychological manipulation forces victims into a state of destructive obedience, leading them to follow orders that jeopardize their financial security and mental wellbeing.
Scammers induce moral emotions like guilt and shame to coerce victims to defer to their authority.
The modus operandi involves calls from unknown numbers, falsely claiming individuals are involved in heinous crimes and demanding money to avoid arrest.
