Black Line' online loan scam; if you come across any suspicious loan apps, immediately contact the cyber police.

Numerous groups are currently active on social media, engaging in scams by offering Instant Loans to the general public without any specific criteria. A new loan scam is now widespread under the name of the company "Black Line." The modus operandi involves initially requesting processing fees, taxes, etc., from loan applicants. To gain trust, these additional amounts paid are then returned along with the loan amount.

After establishing this credibility, when the loan app is installed, it collects private pictures from the phone. These pictures are then morphed into nude images, and the victims are threatened that these images will be sent to their relatives and friends, demanding more money. It is advisable to stay away from such loan apps obtained through social media. If a loan is necessary, it should only be obtained from authorized banks. Avoid installing untrustworthy apps that request control of your phone. If any suspicious loan apps come to your attention, report them immediately to the Cyber Helpline number 1930.
