Don’t Fall Prey! 🚨 PROTECT YOURSELF from Phone Scams and Online Fraud | Finsherpa

Are You Falling for Scams Without Realizing It? Here's What You Need to Know

Imagine you're at home, going about your day, and a call comes in. The caller claims to be from FedEx, saying your courier is linked to a narcotics investigation by the Mumbai police. You panic. You know you haven’t done anything wrong, but their story seems convincing. What happens next? Hours of intimidation, questioning, and—before you realize it—you’ve lost lakhs of rupees to scammers.

Scams like these are becoming alarmingly common. They exploit trust, urgency, and fear, making people share personal details or even transfer money. Here’s how to stay safe:

1️⃣ Recognize the Red Flags:
Urgent requests or threats over the phone.
Asking for personal or banking details.
Fake names with subtle spelling mistakes.
Requests to download files or apps.


2️⃣ Never Share Details:
Genuine companies never ask for sensitive information over calls.
Avoid opening suspicious links or downloading unknown files.


3️⃣ Educate and Empower:
Elderly individuals and those unfamiliar with online scams are often the easiest targets.
Teach them to pause and consult trusted family members.


4️⃣ Follow the Three-Step Rule:
🛑 STOP: Pause and think about the situation.
🤔 THINK: Could this be a scam?
✅ ACT: Report suspicious calls to cybercrime authorities.


No matter how advanced scammers get, awareness is your greatest defense. If you or someone you know has been a victim, don’t hesitate to report it. Reporting can lead to catching these fraudsters and potentially recovering your money.


Stay alert, spread the word, and remember: STOP, THINK, ACT before you fall prey to a scam!
