“Beware! Your Online Saiyaara Might Be a Cyber Scammer” – UP Police's Creative Alert Goes Viral

While audiences are swooning over the blockbuster film Saiyaara in theatres, the Uttar Pradesh Police has seized the moment to issue a witty yet crucial cybercrime alert. Using a filmy twist on online scams, the police warned users about the dangers of trusting too much in digital relationships — especially when love turns into a fraud.

🎬 Saiyaara Craze Meets Cyber Awareness

UP Police shared a clever post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), saying:

"Be careful, your online Saiyaara could turn out to be a cyber scammer. Stay alert!"

In a humorous yet impactful tone, the post reads:

"People are fainting in theatres after watching Saiyaara, but the real shock comes when after 'I love you', it's 'OTP bhejo please'… and your account balance becomes ₹0."

❤️ “Give Your Heart, Not Your OTP”

Through this post, the police emphasized an important lesson:
While emotional connections and trust are part of online relationships, never share personal information like:

• OTPs

• Bank details

• UPI PINs

• Aadhaar numbers

Cybercriminals are increasingly using romance scams to manipulate people into sharing confidential details.

🕵️ How Do These Scams Work?

Fake Online Profiles: Scammers pose as romantic partners through social media or dating apps.

Emotional Manipulation: After gaining trust, they request sensitive data or financial help.

Financial Theft: Once you share your OTP or bank info, your account can be emptied within minutes.

📞 What to Do If You Are Scammed?

If you suspect or fall victim to an online fraud:

• Call the National Helpline: 📞 1930

• Report Online: 🌐 cybercrime.gov.in

• In UP? Dial 112 and inform the Cyber Crime Unit.

Quick reporting increases the chance of recovering stolen money.

💡 Final Takeaway:

The UP Police's slogan says it all:
👉 "Dil dein, OTP nahi"
(“Give your heart, not your OTP”)

Stay cautious, stay informed, and help spread awareness — because in the world of online love, cybercrime is just a click away.

🔁 Share this alert with friends and family to protect them from falling prey to digital love scams.
