Profile cloning -Fraudster will make exact same profile like yours - using pictures from your own profile. They will then message to your contacts asking for money immediately for the surgery of mother or similar emotional lie

I'll touch upon few different types of cyber frauds and few possible ways in which we can avoid ourselves to be duped of money, time & energy.
Will also attach few real registered FIRs showing that most of the times such crimes happen with educated & learned people.

Don't verify by calling that person, instead, call a common friend or family member of that person. Don't think you can't be fooled - I know at least 20 people working in Top IT MNCs becoming victim of this fraud. Lock your FB/Insta.
3/16
This generally happens while selling something on OLX/Quikr & similar platforms. In such cases, people will fraud in the name of paying money by asking to scan the QR code or click a link.
NEVER scan the QR code to receive money, give your UPI
4/16
Fraudster will send fake SMS showing amount credited to the account - with correct account number in SMS. Then they will call from unknown numbers asking for money.
ALWAYS check your bank account first via bank app.
5/16
Read the attached FIRs to understand - fraudster will befriend on social media by sharing watsapp number for authenticity. These numbers are generally foreign numbers because watsapp phone calls can't be recorded.
6/16
Please see attached FIRs.
Don't buy an insurance/scheme/bitcoin etc. that is way below the normal rates and always check the email ID & website twice for authenticity. Any official ID on gmail is MOSTLY FRAUD.
7/16
Never install any app on anyone's suggestion - fraudster will be able to see all the activity done on mobile including password.
Visit branch for loans and check in-person.
8/16
This is most common & most emotionally traumatic for girls. Fraudsters take the pics from social media, use that to morph into pornography & then blackmail.
Lock your FB/Insta profiles; Add watermark or grey-out pics to use as profile pic
9/16
Also report complaint on https://t.co/ScaXbENBZz
State-wise email IDs & phone numbers can be found on - https://t.co/kpwiHvxvD9
10/16
Fraudster will show the dreams to become rich quickly in the name of clicking ads, writing reviews, creating fake profiles for corporates/political parties on social media etc etc.
GREED = STUPIDITY = PAIN
11/16
Read the FIRs attached - thousands of such frauds happening on daily basis but seldom get reported due to guilt & fake morality.
12/16
Most gullible in such type of cases are girls especially widows/divorcees. Common modus operandi is good looks, to pose as rich NRI or a person with stable earnings
Few articles:

13/16
a)cut-off communication as soon as they ask for money.
b)don't meet secretly
c)keep a third person in loop
d) ask for address & get that verified
e) do video chats, take screenshots and tell them about it - genuine ones will be ok
14/16
There are many more ways a person can defraud using internet/phone. Most important aspect is to be vigil all the time, don't trust easily, don't share personal pics/videos easily and last but not the least - keep greed/lust under control.

More from Internet
8kun, the people at the center of the attempted coup, Qanon, child abuse content, and multiple neo-nazi mass-shootings made public everyone they were emailing. Here's what that reveals. New, co-written by me + THREAD
A mail server vulnerability has publicly exposed more than a year\u2019s worth of email logs, as well as highlighted security and infrastructure issues, faced by the administrators and maintainers of controversial websites such as 8kun. https://t.co/JgcZ4ihuwf

Simple price action analysis.#Seamecltd https://t.co/gR9xzgeb9K
The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
