The parcel call

You are Sunita, 58, a retired teacher in Pune. It's a quiet Tuesday morning.

Your phone rings. An automated voice says:
"This is FedEx. A parcel booked in your name has been held by customs. Press 1 to speak to our executive."

What do you do?

This story needs JavaScript. What to remember:

There is no "digital arrest". Police, CBI, ED and customs never arrest anyone on a video call.

Secrecy is the trap: "don't tell anyone" keeps you alone and scared. Always tell family.

Never move money to an account someone gives you on a call. If you did, call 1930 at once.

A made-up story based on real scams reported in India. Names, numbers and amounts are invented.
