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