Annamayya SP cautions public against cybercrimes
The Annamayya district police on Monday issued an advisory on the growing menace of cyberfraud and reiterated its commitment to timely grievance redressal.
Speaking to the media here, Superintendent of Police V. Vidyasagar Naidu cautioned the public against cyberfraudsters who adopt highly deceptive strategies such as fake lottery messages, fraudulent links, and unsolicited APK files to dup people.
The SP urged the public to remain vigilant, and doubly cautious on suspicious links and downloading unknown apps. He further asked them to not share sensitive information on social media platforms, besides guarding important details such as bank account details, ATM PINs, or OTPs. He advised them to reach out to the police or call the national cyber helpline at 1930 for help.
Meanwhile, Additional SP (Administration) M. Venkatadri on Monday led the 'Public Grievance Redressal Platform' here at the district police office.
The Additional SP instructed the police officials at the mandal and district level to focus on addressing the grievances of women, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Mr. Venkatadri urged the public who are unable to visit district headquarters to file complaints to approach the local police stations or offices of the Deputy SPs.
