Online loan scams are increasing rapidly, and a recent incident in Delhi is a strong reminder of why public awareness is important. According to news reports, the Delhi Police busted a fake loan call centre operating from Sangam Vihar. The group was offering instant online loans and targeting people who urgently needed money.
In this case, victims received WhatsApp calls promising quick loan approvals with little or no documentation. Once the loan process began, hidden charges, high processing fees, and repeated demands for money followed. One complainant reportedly lost around %u20B936,000. What made the case more alarming was that the operation was run by family members, making it appear trustworthy to victims.
Such scams mainly target individuals who are financially stressed or unaware of how legitimate digital lending platforms work. Fraudsters misuse personal data, pressure borrowers with threats, and sometimes even harass them if payments are delayed.
To stay safe, people should only use RBI-registered banks or verified lending apps. Avoid clicking unknown links, sharing OTPs, Aadhaar details, or bank information over calls or messaging apps. Always read terms carefully and be cautious of lenders who promise “instant approval” without proper verification.
If you suspect fraud, report it immediately to the cybercrime helpline (1930) or at cybercrime.gov.in. Early reporting can prevent further losses.
Awareness is the first step toward prevention. Staying informed, alert, and cautious can protect you and others from falling victim to online loan scams.
