Online scammers posing as police have launched a multi-million euro “digital arrest” scam in India, targeting prominent figures such as judges, journalists and business leaders. This sophisticated cybercrime scheme has become a major concern as criminals hold individuals to ransom under the guise of law enforcement.
In August, Indian textile tycoon S.P. Oswal, chairman of the Vardhman Group, paid €770,000 to scammers posing as federal agents who accused him of money laundering.
