The Andhra Pradesh Police have launched a new awareness campaign aimed at educating the public about the dangers of “honey trap” cyber scams. These scams often involve individuals being lured into compromising situations through fake romantic relationships on social media platforms, leading to extortion and blackmail.
The campaign aims to raise awareness about the tactics used by cyber criminals, offering advice on how to recognize potential scams and avoid falling victim to them. The police are working closely with local communities and educational institutions to spread the message, with a special focus on social media literacy and online safety. This initiative comes as part of the state’s efforts to combat rising cyber crimes and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
