Fake Travel and E-Commerce Scams

Scammers create fake websites that mimic legitimate shopping, travel, and retail sites. In India, scam activity can peak during major festival periods, particularly in the autumn months when Diwali, Dussehra, Navratri, and Dhanteras drive festive shopping. Scammers create convincing copies of popular e-commerce and travel booking sites, often exploiting the trust in UPI payment systems to target both festival shoppers and religious pilgrimage bookings.

Remote Access Tech Support Fraud

Scammers pose as technical support staff from well-known companies, banks, and government agencies. They create a sense of urgency by claiming there's a problem with your device, account, or online security, often using convincing technical language and websites that closely mimic legitimate support pages.
