Cyber crimes have indeed been on the rise in recent years. Cyber criminals are constantly finding new ways to deceive people, even impersonating police officers or other authoritative figures in the government to gain trust and manipulate victims.

In yet another shocking case of cyber crime in Jammu and Kashmir, fraudsters are using the name of the DGP of the state to carry out criminal activities.

Jammu and Kashmir Police, on social media platform ‘X’, asked people to remain vigilant against a person posing as the Director General of Police R R Swain and trying to extort money over the phone in his name.

J&K Police tweeted, “This is to convey fellow police officers, colleagues from other government services, departments and members of the general public that a fraudster (who is being identified) is using a mobile phone number 8891979985 and is falsely posing as Sh R R Swain DGP J&K. This fraudster is asking money from different people including colleague police officers who he thinks can fall into his trap. While legal action under law is underway, friends, colleagues and even relatives are requested to be vigilant about this person as well as such persons in future.”

The police not only cautioned the public about the impersonator posing as DGP R R Swain but also made it clear that they will take legal action against all such scamsters.

With cyber crimes increasing day after day, this case is an eyeopener for all to stay extra vigilant and avoid sharing personal details to prevent any form of financial deception in the hands of cyber criminals.
