We extend our heartfelt thanks to Shri Baljeet Singh, Cyber Crime, Noida Police and for his valuable time and support. We also aim to do more such sessions in the different Group Housing societies in Noida,” said Rajiva Singh, President, NOFAA
“We were honoured to have experienced officers from the Noida Police, specializing in cybercrime and fraud prevention, lead this session with their expert insights. The session was an essential step towards ensuring all our residents are well-equipped to protect themselves in the digital world,” said Ashok Nauriyal, Vice-president, NOFFA, and Secretary General, Meghdutam Senior Citizens Forum.
Recently, people – especially senior citizens – are getting fraudulent phones from persons posing to help them out by citing that their phone numbers and email ids have been used for illegal activities. In panic, on hearing their names caught in digital fraud, some have been cheated by a large amount of their savings. The session was helpful in the confidence building of the seniors.
