ChainCatcher news, according to a report by Cryptoslate, based on the Ministry of Home Affairs' 2024 annual report, India has intensified its efforts to combat crypto-related scams by collaborating with tech giants Google and Meta (formerly Facebook).

In recent months, these scams have become increasingly rampant, with investors losing over $3.6 billion to these schemes in 2024. Scammers often impersonate financial advisors or representatives of legitimate investment firms, gradually building trust before convincing victims to transfer large sums of money into fraudulent schemes.

In response, India's Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) has developed protocols to work directly with these platforms to flag suspicious activities, block ads, and expedite the removal of fraudulent content.
