Over 25 cases of fake websites selling fireworks and crackers have been reported in a month, the Cyber Crime Wing of the Tamil Nadu Police said on Saturday, while issuing an advisory ahead of Deepavali.
The festive holiday season often sees a surge in the demand for fireworks and crackers, but this increased demand can sometimes lead to unscrupulous individuals taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers. Gullible victims fall prey to fraudulent websites promising fireworks and crackers at very low prices, the police said.
