Within the regime of cyber networks, the major concern of digital scientists is to provide layers of cyber security so that online crooks cannot break the shield to steal the personal and biometric data of users. In advancing the cyber security techniques, cyber scientists put emphasis on adopting new level security apps powered by artificial intelligence systems to guard business operations, sensitive data of personnel as well as users. Inception of AI also empower the cyber criminals to succeed in their cruel mission and devastate the financial assets, business operations of companies and global users.

Psychological review of digital arrest:

AI supported digital arrest is amplifying in the arena of cyber fraud to suck the money of users. Scammers of digital arrest fraud adopt law enforcement procedures to pressurize victims to release funds. They contact targeted users as a government official such as police or investigating agents, income tax officers, or customs agents to manipulate users. Scammers authoritatively order the victims to interact in video communication through online mediums such as WhatsApp and Skype. The defrauders psychologically grip the users and intimidate the victims with a digital arrest warrant, quoting issues like financial wrongdoing, tax evasion, or other legal destructions. Cyber fraudsters smartly prove to the user through fake online legal documents that he/she has committed some crimes and is under investigation such as money laundering, drug trafficking, watching illegal videos or other illegal matters.

While committing digital arrest fraud, a team of cybercriminals trap users through email, text messages, or phone channels and claim that the victim is involved in criminal activities and create panic to pay a penalty in order to avoid imprisonment, otherwise they will issue arrest warrant against the alleged victim. In a fraudulent process, the caller informs the receiver that senior police officers will contact you regarding the alleged case and give detailed information. Furthermore, the fraudster instructs the receiver to remain in isolation till all the legal formalities and investigations is performed. Caller also threatens that users should not disclose any information to other family members, friends or office colleagues in arranging funds that are required to free them from legal allegations. In this way, scammers extract huge amounts of money from victims.

Techniques of Artificial intelligence (AI) in the wave of technical innovation have fueled digital arrest fraud to execute in real scenarios. Cyber criminals send edited audio and video with the help of AI that are exactly look like original legal notices to deceive users.

Shielding grounds for users to escape from digital arrest frauds:

Digital arrest frauds are propagating because users are not well informed about law enforcement methods or lack of awareness for digital crimes in online platforms. In dealing with online professionals, it is important to collate relevant information about a person who is contacting you. Users must have general cognizance about the working of the government and public institutions. If someone claims to be a government official through presenting ID or fake uniform on a digital platform, users must calmly interrogate them without falling under fearful emotion. It is broadcasted by the government in various news channels that any legal warrant or legal notice is not served via email or phone.

When users receive any suspicious phone call or email, they promptly contact the nearest police station to investigate the case. Verification of credentials presented by so-called officers in digital platforms is the wise step to avoid fraud. It is recommended to use the official website of law enforcement to check the identity of a person who claims to be a legal officer instead of surfing on search engines.  

Another important counter measure to win over digital arrest frauds is the effective communication with family and social network. Sometimes, people unknowingly fall under some socially restricted activities such as sensitive videos, or have illicit relation with others. They hide such information from others with the fear of degradation of image in society. Fraudulent take advantage of such data and easily trap such users as they can be easily motivated for releasing funds to retain their image in society. People must share information with family without any fear because family and well-wishers can guard and take necessary steps to catch the criminals.

People with a high cognitive reserve can immediately sense the intention of a scammer. In the real scenario, one technical director, loaded with great intelligence capability, frequently receives phone calls from various online advertisements, bank personnel or charity institutes. Sometimes online vendors also contact with unknown numbers. Therefore, he used to attend calls naturally. As digital arrest frauds are at peak, he is fully aware of tricks of fraudsters. One day, he was busy somewhere and his phone rang which was received by his family member. Caller claimed that he was calling from the nearest police station and wanted to talk with the mobile user immediately by telling full name. His voice was rude. Technical director took the call and said hello. Other side's caller authoritatively and arrogantly spoke that you are watching some videos that are illegal and immediately report me online to know what legal action we are taking against you. Receiver immediately cut the call and blocked the number. He never received such a call again after that and escaped himself from digital fraud. In essence, smartly handling the phone conversation can protect users from any fraudulent activities of criminals.   

Dropping final word:

Cybercrimes are fruitful ground with the advent of technically driven apps or digital systems. Digital arrest fraud ruins the wealth of users through AI tools such as machine learning to create fake audios or videos. Fraudsters in digital arrest claim themselves as law enforcement officers and use emails or phone calls to betray victims. Basically, cyber fraudsters use pressure tricks, threat of silence to manipulate victims. Preventive steps safeguard one against the trap of criminals' web is to broaden knowledge base and increase mental strength.
