Quick anonymous survey: how are Indians dealing with rising AI-powered scams?

Case Study

Hey r/india r/IndiaSpeaks r/indiasocial r/IndiaTech r/IndiaInvestments ,

After reading yet another story of someone losing lakhs to a digital arrest scam, I started wondering - how widespread is this really? How are people actually responding when they get suspicious calls/messages?

I put together a short anonymous survey (10 questions, under 2 minutes) to understand:

- How frequently people receive scam attempts

- What age groups are most affected

- What people actually do when they get a suspicious call

- What protection they wish existed

Survey link: In comment section below

All results will be shared back with this community. No personal data collected, completely anonymous.

If you have a story about a scam attempt (yours or someone you know) - drop it in the comments. Genuinely curious what people have experienced.
