Woman Exposes Scammers Posing As Police Officers, Internet Praises Her Act

How many times have you encountered scammers that pretend to deliver huge cash benefits with the objective to rob us or threaten people of adverse circumstances if they do not pay a said amount immediately. It’s much more difficult for individuals who are trying to save every penny for a better future. Recently, an Instagram user raised awareness about a scam in which people imitate police officials and coerce individuals to give them money. The woman stated that scammers exploit their victims by creating a sense of urgency and fear in their minds.

In the clip shared on Instagram, Charanjeet Kaur is seen speaking with someone from a phone number that includes a photo of two police officers. The guy claims to be an inspector with the Delhi Police and informs her that her sister, whose name is Charanjeet Kaur, has been arrested for blackmailing a minister’s son. The person posing as the inspector then asked for Rs 20,000 to release her sister. Irked by the entire situation, the woman shouts at the person and reveals that she is the same woman they claim to have arrested.

In the caption, she wrote, “Police ki dp dekhke log aise moments mei bhot dar jaate hain fir jald baazi mei bina soche smjhe paise transfer kardete hai and isi chakkaar mei fraud ka shikaar ban jaate hain. I knew about this scam pehle se isliye mai bach gayi. Please share this among all your family and friend circle taaki wo aise scams se bach sake! (People are afraid when they see the police DP and transfer money without thinking twice, becoming victims of fraud. I was aware of this fraud and managed to save myself. Please share this with your family and friends so that you can prevent such scams)”

While this video went viral, others also shared similar stories of scammers they faced. A user narrated, “My father also received a fraud call… They said ‘your son’s name is Yogesh?’ He said that your son is in the police station, he has been accused of a sexual assault case and I was sitting at home with my elder brother, watching TV. He was saying that if you want to compromise send it Rs 30,000 or else he will be jailed…”
