Fake Police Sign, Gandhi Photo: How Scammers In Cambodia "Arrested' Indians

In a shocking revelation, Cambodian authorities have uncovered a fraudulent operation that involved the use of fake police signboards bearing the logos of the Mumbai Police and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). These signboards were prominently displayed alongside images of iconic Indian leaders, Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar, within an abandoned compound used by scammers. The operation, described as a 'digital arrest' scheme, targeted Indian nationals, exploiting their trust in law enforcement. This discovery has raised concerns about the growing trend of scams that manipulate cultural and national symbols to deceive individuals. As Indian nationals increasingly seek opportunities abroad, such fraudulent practices pose significant risks. The incident highlights the need for heightened awareness and vigilance among those traveling to or residing in foreign countries, particularly in relation to potential scams that could jeopardize their safety and security. Authorities are now working to dismantle these operations and provide support to affected individuals, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in combating such criminal activities.
