MUMBAI: Every single day, thousands of people are duped of lakhs of rupees across the country by way of a simple phone call. Duping innocent people with the lure of a lottery or a new car, or scaring them into believing that their cards have been blocked, cyber criminals wipe out bank accounts of those who choose to trust a stranger on the line. Financial fraud is widely prevalent and it’s real.

India’s favourite crime show host is here to tell you, rather warn you of, just that. Actor Anup Soni delves into the phishing scams that have been sweeping the country for a few years now and that mostly originate from a small, seemingly innocuous town in Jharkhand, called Jamtara. 

Leaning on Netflix’s new true-crime series, Jamtara-Sabka Number Ayega, along with research and Anup Soni sheds light on how these under-privileged and uneducated scamsters successfully deceive people from all strata of society -- doctors, engineers, even mediapersons-- to part with their hard-earned, long-saved money. 

“It’s shocking how common financial fraud has become in the day and age of widespread mobile phone and internet use. I recently came to know that a journalist from a reputed news wire has also been duped - which means that absolutely no one is spared! It’s important for as many people to be aware of what’s happening to protect themselves and the earnings they surely work hard for,” said Soni.
