Questions
I lost money to a fraud. What now?
Call 1930 at once (the first hours matter most), report at cybercrime.gov.in and ask your bank to block the account / card.
Is this course technical?
No. It uses real examples of fraud messages and calls, explained in simple language.
Can police really arrest someone over a video call?
No. There is no 'digital arrest' in Indian law. Such calls are scams; cut the call and report at 1930.
