🧠 Problem Title: "The Anatomy of Digital Deception: Addressing the Exponential Rise of Online Scams Targeting Ordinary Citizens"
📝 Problem Description

With rapid digitalization (UPI, online banking, apps), cyber frauds like phishing, OTP scams, fake job offers, and deepfake calls are increasing sharply across India. Many citizens, especially first-time internet users, lack awareness of digital safety. Victims often lose life savings within minutes, and recovery is rare due to delayed reporting and weak enforcement coordination. Fraudsters exploit trust, language barriers, and lack of cyber literacy. The psychological impact includes fear of using digital services, reducing trust in digital India initiatives.
