The government has said this I4C database has been created to stop digital arrest scams by making the scamsters’ identity known to the public. Digital arrest scam works on the ideology of fear. You get a call from an unknown number identifying himself/herself as some senior police officer, or court judge, or CBI, or customs, or anybody of high government status. Then they play some false narratives on you saying drugs, and other contraband items were found in your name and until the time investigation is concluded they will have to place you under arrest. Typically, when anybody hears the word ‘arrest’ It is the sense of fear which grips your thinking process rather than logical reasoning. This is when the imposter offers a way out and tells them he/she will place you under digital arrest provided you comply with his terms. His terms usually are about money specifically asking for bribes to settle this digital arrest. In a gist this is a digital arrest scam- an imposter placing you under fake digital arrest to ask for a bribe for a crime which did not even happen. Suspect a scam?
