In today’s world of the internet and social media, people have experienced both benefits and drawbacks.
While the internet has made many tasks easier, it has also made it easier for criminals to commit fraud.
To address this issue, the Government of India has created a new website called “Chakshu” to tackle cybercrime.
The main goal of this new website is to prevent false, fake, harmful, and dishonest messages from spreading on social media.
Through Chakshu, every Indian citizen can directly report online fraud or suspicious messages and calls they have received to the government.
The government will carefully monitor these complaints and take action against fraudsters to reduce online scams in the country.
You can use the Chakshu website to report various types of scams, such as financial frauds, fake customer support, fraudulent calls from people pretending to be government officials, fake job offers, and loan scams.
This website is available on the official Sanchar Saathi website operated by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
It aims to address the increasing cyber frauds, especially those involving fake messages on WhatsApp, SMS, and calls.
You can report any suspicious calls, messages, or conversations through the Chakshu portal.
