🚨Digital Arrest Scam: What to Do If You Get a Threat Call

Online scammers often use panic and fake legal threats to scare people into giving away information or money. In this Digital Dharma lesson, Lokesh, Varsha, and Krishna explain how to stay calm and handle fake "Digital Arrest" scam calls.

The Threat Call: “You Are Under Digital Arrest!”

Lokesh receives a terrifying call claiming that his Aadhaar number is involved in a severe crime:

"Your Aadhaar is linked to a crime! You are under Digital Arrest. Do not disconnect this call and keep it a secret!"

Frightened and confused, Lokesh doesn't know how to respond.

Varsha immediately steps in to reassure him that there is no need to panic.

Varsha reassures: Don't be afraid, Lokesh. There is no concept like "Digital Arrest" in the law! Police will never arrest anyone over a video call.

Why Digital Arrest is Completely Fake

Scammers use intimidation tactics like urgency, secrecy, and authority figures to manipulate victims.

They threaten legal action so that you react emotionally without thinking clearly or telling your family.

Krishna teaches: When courage and knowledge join together, no scam can win against you. Nobody can place you under arrest over a video call.

3 Action Steps When Facing a Scam Call

If you or your family ever receive a suspicious call claiming you are in legal trouble:

1. Disconnect Immediately: Hang up the call without giving any personal details.

2. Inform Adults: Tell your parents, teachers, or a trusted adult right away.

3. Stay Calm: Remember that real law enforcement authorities follow proper, written legal procedures.

Courage & Knowledge Defeat Cyber Scams

Once Lokesh understands the reality behind the threat, his fear disappears.

By disconnecting the call and sharing it with his family, he keeps himself and his information safe.

Digital Dharma Rule: Disconnect → Inform → Stay Calm

Never let online fear control your decisions. Real authority acts through law, not secret threats over video calls.
