Don’t risk your precious life by taking loan in loan apps for small needs : District SP Akhil Mahajan

A call to 1930 can immediately respond to a cyber fraud and freeze. So that it does not fall into the hands of cyber criminals

Cyber crimes are on the rise in recent times. With the widespread use of smart phones, it has become a habit to download an app all the time. In recent times, there are more scams of loan app applications, so don’t download loan apps and take a loan for urgent needs. Once you download the app on your mobile phone, you will be asked for the terms and conditions. Once you do that, the entire contact list and data in your mobile phone will go to the hands of cyber criminals. If you don’t have money, they will send links to other loan ups and tell you to take a loan from them. Recently, a girl in Mancharyala was harassed by cybercriminals who repeatedly took a loan without downloading the loan and committed suicide. District SP Akhil Mahajan IPS suggested that people should be aware that no one gets money just because of hard work.
