Indian citizens lost over ₹1,750 crore to cyber fraud in the first four months of 2024, with the country reporting 7,000 daily online fraud complaints. The cybercrimes included online investment fraud, gaming apps, algorithm manipulations, illegal lending apps, sextortion, and OTP scams. The rise in cyber fraud cases has been attributed to enhanced vigilance and detection efforts, as noted by Home Minister Amit Shah. A notable incident involved a 26-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru losing ₹31.3 lakh due to a courier scam. Authorities have issued advisories urging the public to be cautious of increasing courier frauds, particularly 'FedEx frauds'. A region in India has surpassed Jamtara in cybercrimes.
