Public awareness

The scams built for people with a degree, a phone and no salary yet

Students are not targeted with digital arrest. They get the "registration fee" for a job, the "₹150 task" that becomes a ₹1.5 lakh deposit, the trading group with screenshots of profit, and the loan app that calls their contacts. Then a friend offers ₹5,000 to "use your bank account for a week".

What participants can do afterwards

  • Check any job offer in five minutes (domain, company registry, the fee ask, the interview that never happens on video)
  • Recognise the task-scam escalation and the Telegram trading-group playbook before the first deposit
  • Know how illegal loan apps get contacts and photos, and what to do when the harassment starts
  • Understand that renting out a bank account or UPI ID makes you a mule, with a frozen account and a police case to follow
  • Know how to report (1930, cybercrime.gov.in, SEBI SCORES for fake advisers, the Sachet portal for lending apps)

Modules

  1. Fake jobs and offer letters

    Real offer letters from the last placement season, side by side with fakes. The fee, the domain, the WhatsApp HR.

  2. Task scams and work-from-home

    How the first ₹150 payout is designed, how the "premium task" deposit works, and where the money goes.

  3. Trading tips, crypto and the screenshot economy

    Telegram groups, fake apps with fake balances, the withdrawal fee, and checking an adviser on SEBI records.

  4. Loan apps

    Permissions, the contact-list threat, morphed photos, and the RBI and Sachet routes for illegal lenders.

  5. Mule accounts

    Why renting your account is the easiest way for a student to end up in an FIR, and how to refuse a friend.

  6. Reporting and questions from the hall

    1930 in the first hour, the portal, and what happens to a complaint. Real questions, real answers.

Frequently asked questions

Can this be part of our induction or placement-readiness programme?

Yes, and that is where it works best. First-year induction suits the loan-app and trading-group material; final-year placement readiness suits the job-scam and mule-account material. We can run a single 90-minute session for everyone or two shorter sessions aimed at each group, with the placement cell briefing added either way.

Does the session cover what the placement cell itself should check?

Yes. The briefing note covers verifying a recruiter's domain and company registration, why genuine employers never ask for fees or deposits, how fake recruiters reuse real company names, and what to tell students who receive offers outside the official process. We can add a 20-minute session for placement staff on the same visit.

Students are embarrassed to admit losing money. How do you handle that?

We open with the fact that the people losing money in task and trading scams include engineers, bankers and teachers. The trainer never asks for a show of hands. Students can ask questions anonymously through a slip or the WhatsApp channel, and we stay back after the session so anyone who has already lost money can be walked through 1930 and the portal privately.

How large can the audience be?

Thirty to about five hundred in an auditorium. Above two hundred the live verification exercise becomes a demonstration rather than a hands-on activity, so for very large colleges we recommend one session per stream or year. Online sessions work well for distance students if a moderator collects questions.
