In Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India, a 13-year-old boy named Tanmay outsmarted cyber fraudsters who attempted to extort money from his parents by posing as officers from the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The scammers claimed that the family was linked to a ₹300 crore fraud and used a fake arrest warrant to intimidate them. During a prolonged video call, the fraudsters pressured Tanmay's parents for sensitive information about their properties and valuables. Recognizing the scam from previous reports, Tanmay cleverly instructed his father to switch the phone to flight mode, which caused the call to disconnect and foiled the fraud attempt. The family promptly reported the incident to the police, and an FIR has been filed. Authorities are actively pursuing the fraudsters. Citizens are urged to refrain from sharing personal details over the phone and to report any suspicious calls to the police or the national cyber helpline.
