markets Target Digital Discover track social information Unraveling the digital arrest scams: How scammers target vulnerable pensioners

digital arrest scam operation that possessed data of 20,000 pensioners, including their banking information from various states, leaving officials astounded. A previous operation last year led authorities to discover prepared scripts containing calculated dialogues aimed at deceiving and pressuring elderly targets. Digital arrest fraudsters have become increasingly sophisticated, utilising advanced methods and extensive personal information. Their leaders, typically operating from foreign locations, leave authorities dealing primarily with lower-level operatives. Officials discovered an intricate system of deception capable of trapping vigilant people. «They seem very organised from step one. They employ scripted fraud speeches, carefully crafted to instil fear and panic, making targets more susceptible to the scammers' demands,» explained a cyber cell officer. «The scripts are scientifically tailored to exploit the target's vulnerabilities, such as their age, health or financial situation, making these speeches even more effective at extracting money and information from unsuspecting individuals.» These criminals select their targets deliberately. They utilise various methods to acquire sensitive banking information, focusing on elderly customers. Their techniques include social engineering, data breach exploitation, and collaboration with corrupt bank staff who share confidential customer information.

markets Provident CEO Sony Trade Experts recommendations Nifty crosses 23,000 mark after a month: Should mutual fund investors stay invested or rebalance?

Nifty 50 crossing the 23,000 mark once again after a month, a mutual fund expert recommends that for investors looking for long-term wealth creation and have a stomach for equity market volatility, large and midcap funds / multicap funds / flexicap funds would be a good bet. “Large and mid-cap funds, multi-cap funds, or flexi-cap funds — for investors looking for long-term wealth creation and who can stomach equity market volatility, these funds would be a good bet, as they provide a portfolio mix across market capitalizations that helps reduce the impact of sharp gyrations in any particular segment of the market,” says Suresh Soni, CEO of Baroda BNP Paribas Asset Management. The expert also recommends that for such investors, where the recent 10% drop has brought the realization that equity investments can go up and down, but who still want a core of equity holdings for its status as the best-performing long-term asset class in India, hybrid equity schemes or balanced advantage funds would definitely be something to carefully consider. And for investors who believe in the dictum, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” a diversified mix of multiple asset classes with low correlation to each other may be a preferred option.
