The key measure to curb financial crimes is by increasing consumer awareness as well as being constantly vigilant about one’s banking security. As part of the CSR initiative, ICICI Foundation was invited to The Bhawanipur Education Society College on March 23 2023 to make the students aware of Cyber Crimes. Mr. Mainak Chakraborty, a Financial Consultant at ICICI Foundation CSR Banking, was felicitated by Mrs. Minakshi Chaturvedi, Coordinator, Morning, Department of Commerce. Mr. Chakraborty began the session thereafter by asking the students how many online frauds they had heard of.
The students were then made aware of the Jamtara scam as well as how Cyber Crime is at an all-time high in Kolkata. The students were familiarized with terms used in the Cybercrime industry which makes innocent people their victims. The participants were told about the ways in which one can protect themselves from Cyber Crimes like Phishing Links, Vishing Calls, Juice Jacking, Money Mules, Pyramid schemes, etc.
Students particularly found the one on Juice Jacking informative, where using Public Wi-Fi & charging in plug points at common spaces, might lead one to financial fraud. Things like Document forgery were also discussed along with helpline numbers to reach out to in case of financial fraud faced by them. The speaker vividly gave details of the process by which one can reach out to customer care numbers & raise tickets online when they realize they have become a victim of Cybercrime.
The session ended with two videos on fraud in online transactions & how scammers work in such a way that naive people easily give in. Towards the end, the session was wrapped up with the view that one must become conscious of not sharing their bank details, google pay UPI numbers unless asked by Banks themselves.
