These days, we come across multiple scams where lay users are driven to suspicious websites or apps and tricked into revealing their personal details, leading to financial loss.

The Government of India has now come up with a suspicious list of Mobile nos., Email ids, Website URLs and Apps to warn users before they transact with them.

So, if you are asked to go to a particular site or app or communicate with a Mobile no. or email id, you may visit https://cybercrime.gov.in/, go to the Report & Check Suspect Tab, and look up the relevant telephone no., address or website. If the target is suspicious and/or flagged, the website will let you know the problem. The same tab can be used to report a suspicious Site or phone number or email id or website.

And, unfortunately, if you have been scammed, do not panic – just dial 1930 from anywhere in India and report the incident with full details and the Cybercrime experts will help you trace the suspect and your money as soon as possible.

A similar service is also available at the Global Level. Just visit https://www.scamadviser.com/ and check out the suspicious target at the international level. This site has a huge repository of scams at the international level and provides valuable guidance when visiting unknown websites, rating them and even giving reasons for the rating, so that you can be cautious when dealing with them.
