Legal Help for Victims of Digital Arrest Scams
"Digital arrest" is one of the most alarming cyber fraud trends in recent times — where victims are deceived into believing they are under police or government custody through a video call, and pressured into transferring large sums of money out of fear. As an experienced cyber crime lawyer in Delhi, JS Advocate helps victims of digital arrest scams take immediate legal action to recover losses and pursue the offenders.
There is no legal concept of "digital arrest" under Indian law — no agency can arrest a person over a video call. Understanding this is the first step to protecting yourself, and the next step is knowing how to respond if you or someone you know has already been targeted.
What is a Digital Arrest Scam?
In a digital arrest scam, fraudsters impersonate police officers, CBI, customs, ED, or other law enforcement officials, typically through a video or phone call. Victims are falsely accused of being involved in a crime — such as money laundering, drug trafficking, or a parcel containing illegal items — and are told they are under "digital arrest" and must stay on the call, sometimes for hours, while being coerced into transferring money to "clear their name" or avoid arrest.
This is a manipulative combination of psychological pressure and impersonation, and is recognised as a serious cyberattack and cyber security threat targeting individuals across all age groups, particularly senior citizens.
