Do you click on ads on social media promising huge profits? If you're visiting such betting platforms, be careful. The government has issued a warning about this. I4C, the cyber security department under the Ministry of Home Affairs, has alerted people about this. I4C Cyber ​​Dost, through its official Twitter handle, "X," has appealed to people not to fall prey to the lure of profits and not to fall into the trap of such schemes.

Government's warning
In a post on social media, I4C said that betting apps have now become a new hub of fraud. I4C said that Noida Police recently exposed a gang that was targeting people through such betting apps. This gang would contact people through social media and defraud them by luring them with fake investment schemes. 'Cyber ​​Dost', through its handle, has advised people to stay away from any betting links or investment ads found on social media.

Don't fall for schemes that promise guaranteed returns or "risk-free" profits. If you want to invest, do so only through authorized and regulated platforms.

Also, don't install apps on your phone without thinking or verifying them.
Before installing any app, verify it on the Google Play Store or App Store.
Furthermore, if you become a victim of any cyber fraud, contact the national helpline number 1930 and report it.
Avoid these mistakes on social media
: Cybercriminals are using social media platforms to trap people. They use apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram to contact people and then defraud them in the name of investment opportunities.
Never open links sent by strangers on social media.
Ignore advertisements promising high-yield schemes.
Don't share your bank details, Aadhaar details, or other sensitive information with anyone.
To avoid cyber fraud, you need to be extra vigilant.
