When scammers call pretending to be police officers, the very first thing they order you to do is lock your door and stay completely alone.
They do this because fear only works in the dark. The moment you talk to another human being, their scam falls apart.
Digital arrest scammers use the exact same trick on adults. They tell you: ‘This is a top-secret national investigation. If your spouse or child walks into the room, they will go to jail too.’
They say this so nobody can hear their ridiculous demands and tell you to hang up the phone.
Here is what you should always do if someone orders you to stay on a secret call:
Rule 1: Open the door immediately and call someone you trust into the room.
Rule 2: Never transfer money while on a phone call. no matter how angry the person sounds.
To ensure tricksters cannot isolate your family members, set up the CYBX app on their phones.
CYBX was built in India by 63SATS. It screens incoming calls and automatically silences known extortion and fake police numbers. CYBX acts like a digital bodyguard. making sure scammers never get the chance to trap your loved ones.
