Online and Social Media Related Crime

Intimidating Email

An email threatens a court case, a leak, or harm unless you pay or click a link.

How Scam Works?

This chat is made up. It shows how the trick usually sounds. It is not a real message. Do not reply, and do not send money.

Demonstration

Legal notice desk

Scam message
A case is filed against you. Pay ₹25,000 today or the notice goes to your office and family.
What you might say
Send the court name and case number.
Scam message
Those details come after payment. If you tell the police, the amount will double.

A real court does not collect a fine by email. Do not pay. Do not open the attachment if you were not expecting it.

01
The mail is meant to scare you
It uses words like warrant, leak, police, or court. It sounds final.
02
They want a fast payment
The link, the UPI ID, or the attachment is how they get money or access to your computer.
03
Fear is the tool
If you stop and check the story, it falls apart. There is no real case behind the mail.
