Cyber fraud alert: Police urge public to cross-check news, avoid scams

Cross-verification of news items and avoiding clicking on suspicious links are among the advisories issued to the public to prevent them from falling prey to cyber frauds, the Cyber Crime Wing of the police department said on Saturday.

The agency also appealed to people not to trust any investment schemes or trading platforms promoted through unverified sources, even if they appear to be endorsed by public figures.
