Cybercrimes against seniors rise in Goa, 36 victims in 9 months
Panaji: While investigating cyber fraud cases, Goa police have observed that senior citizens are particularly vulnerable to cybercrimes because generally their digital literacy is limited, they have a trusting nature, they are lonely although financially stable, and they lack immediate support. Over the past 9 months, 36 senior citizens have been defrauded by cybercriminals. Cybercrime SP Rahul Gupta said that with the increasing digitisation of banking, communication, and day-to-day services, senior citizens have become soft targets for cybercriminals. 'In Goa, a sizable number of senior citizens have become victims of cybercrimes. From Sep 2024 to date, a total of 36 senior citizens have been cheated by cyber fraudsters, and of them, 15 victims faced the trauma of the digital arrest scam,' Gupta said. He said that in many cases, the victims do not report the crime out of shame, fear, or lack of knowledge. 'Some even lose their life savings or fall into depression due to the emotional toll.' 'Fraudsters exploit their trust, unfamiliarity with digital tools, and emotional triggers, leading to devastating financial and psychological consequences.' The cybercrime SP said that while the internet has brought convenience, it has also opened doors to scams targeting older adults who may lack technical knowledge or cyber awareness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Cases across India show senior citizens losing lakhs of rupees to cybercriminals.
