In a recent incident, a fake police call was made to an Indian expat in Kuwait, who was then transferred to a fake bank official. This alarming trend has been reported widely, with users being warned to be cautious of random video call scams, which can lead to the theft of personal information and money. To protect against such scams, it is advised to exercise caution when receiving video calls from unfamiliar numbers and to verify the caller's identity through a regular voice call.
