Tumhari family ka sex video viral hojaega. Dekho aur paisa bhejo [Your family’s sex video will be viral) please see and sent money]’. Such messages from unknown numbers, which purportedly contain links to videos, are being sent out by cyber criminals to cheat citizens. They typically come with Android Package Kit (.apk) files attached.  The State Cyber Cell has received a couple of complaints regarding the scam but has yet to register any FIRs.

According to cyber experts, criminals retrieve data from mobile phones as soon as one clicks the link, enabling them to commit fraud using bank details.
