The user’s post in the r/Delhi subreddit got a lot of attention, as many users were worried and offered tips on how to protect their phones.
The message hinted that an app might be spying on the user’s screen without permission.

This incident highlights a growing worry about digital scams, especially in India. Scammers are using clever tricks like pretending to be police officers. They call people, saying they are involved in illegal activities and ask for sensitive information like bank details or Aadhaar numbers. Victims are pressured to pay fines or transfer money to avoid getting into trouble.
