Cyber Fraud: Cases of cyber fraud are increasing rapidly all over the world including India. Cyber fraudsters are also targeting people who want part-time jobs and post about it on social media. Cyber fraudsters take advantage of this opportunity to get details of people and then call them pretending to be from a recruitment agency or the HR manager of a company. After this, due to one mistake of the person, they empty his entire bank account.
Recently, Delhi Police also shared a post on the social media platform X. Police alerted that avoid clicking on any unknown part-time job link as it may be a link to malware that knows the account and personal details.
