The Morning Standard
|March 27, 2025
IT'S crazy. Despite numerous awareness campaigns, including constant reminders via text messages against online scams, Keralites continue to lose lakhs of rupees to cyber fraudsters.
As per official police documents, scammers are, on average, swindling a whopping ₹85 lakh every day (you read that right) from Kerala! Going by the figure, it can be safely assumed Keralites would lose more than ₹300 crore this year in cyber scams.
Between 2022 and 2024, cyber fraudsters swindled ₹1,021 crore from Kerala, of which ₹763 crore was siphoned off last year alone. As many as 41,426 complaints of online fraud were registered in 2024. In 2022 and 2023, the money lost was ₹48 crore and ₹210 crore, respectively. According to the police, trading scams claimed the most number of victims.
