In this vlog i am discussing about FEDEX fraud
FedEx fraud in India has become a serious issue, with scammers using sophisticated tactics to dupe people out of significant amounts of money. These scams typically involve fraudsters impersonating FedEx employees and law enforcement officials, creating a false sense of urgency and fear to manipulate victims.
Here's how the scam generally unfolds:
Initial Contact: The victim receives a phone call from someone claiming to be from FedEx, stating that a package linked to their Aadhaar number contains illegal items such as drugs.
Escalation: The caller then transfers the call to a supposed Mumbai Police Cyber Cell officer, who asserts that the victim is implicated in serious crimes like money laundering or drug trafficking.
Demand for Money: The victim is coerced into transferring large sums of money to "verify" their account and avoid legal trouble. The scammers often demand amounts ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, promising a refund within minutes, which never happens.
One recent case in Bengaluru involved a businessman who lost Rs 1.98 crore after being continuously engaged on a Skype call by scammers posing as police officers (Deccan Herald) (Truecaller). Another aspect of this scam includes the use of mule accounts and the rapid transfer of funds to avoid detection, often ending up in international accounts (Odisha TV Election Info).
To protect yourself from such scams, it is essential to:
Verify Package Status: Check any package's status directly on the official FedEx website.
Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information: Never share your UPI PIN, UPI ID, or other bank details over the phone.
End Suspicious Calls: Hang up immediately if a call seems suspicious.
Educate Vulnerable Populations: Ensure that elderly and less tech-savvy individuals are aware of these scams.
If you suspect you've been targeted, report the incident to the nearest Cyber Crime Police Station or contact emergency services
