India is currently experiencing an increase in internet scam instances.
Cybercriminals are devising new methods to deceive people and steal money from unsuspecting netizens.
Among the viral work-from-home frauds, such as the YouTube scam and the OTP scam, another online fraud has lately emerged, in which criminals call victims on WhatsApp and deceive them into providing money and banking information.
These scammers are contacting consumers with phone numbers beginning with the +92 country code and enticing them with free iPhones and other Apple products.
A case from Ahmedabad was recently reported in which a man lost Rs 7 lakh to an Instagram fraudster who claimed to bring a free iPhone 14 from Dubai. The scammer messaged the victim on the social media app, stating, “Congratulations! You’ve won a free iPhone 14 from Bade Bhai and Chhote Bhai. Just pay a small fee of Rs 3,000. Use UPI to pay on the given number.”
The police have reported multiple occurrences of the ‘Bade Bhai’ scam, in which victims receive phone calls from unknown individuals posing as callers from Dubai. But what exactly is this scam, and why are criminals dialing numbers with the country code +92?
The +92 country code is for Pakistan, and there have been allegations of scammers targeting Indian nationals over WhatsApp. The callers, however, are not from Pakistan. According to the authorities, there is no participation of any Pakistani individual in the aforesaid case, and the fraudsters utilized a virtual number to contact the victim and commit the fraud.
While calls and texts promising free gifts or lucrative deals can be alluring, they are frequently fake. Being attentive and skeptical can help you avoid falling victim to these con games.
To avoid phone fraud utilizing virtual numbers, follow these steps: Be wary of giving out personal information over the phone, especially if you did not initiate the call.
