Ever wonder how scammers actually think? We went deep—talking to both sides of the story.
Victims shared how they got trapped. One minute they're browsing, next thing they know their accounts are frozen by "authorities." The fear? Real. The pressure? Intense. Some lost their life savings to these so-called "digital arrests."
But here's the twist: we also sat down with the fraudsters themselves. Yeah, the people running these operations. They walked us through their playbook—how they exploit India's digital boom, prey on trust in online systems, and manipulate people when they're most vulnerable.
India's internet explosion created opportunities. But it also opened doors for these predators. They're sophisticated, organized, and disturbingly good at what they do.
This isn't just about one country's problem. Digital fraud knows no borders. As Web3 adoption grows, so do the tactics. Stay sharp out there.

Damn, directly interviewing a scammer? That’s seriously bold.
I really don’t get the logic of scammers, but hearing those victims’ stories is just heartbreaking... all their life savings gone in an instant.
Web3 really is a new hunting ground, impossible to guard against everything.

Damn, interviewing the scammer themselves? That takes some guts, but we really do need to hear how they brainwash people.

Damn, since when did scam gangs become interview subjects... This space is really getting unplayable.

No wonder my friend said to be cautious with online transactions, looks like these scammers really are upgrading their skills.

Interviewing scammers is wild, but honestly, learning how they think is pretty useful... Still can't guard against them.

The more popular Web3 gets, the more scammers there are. Honestly, users are just too easy to trick.

So now security awareness is a necessity? These days, being online feels like playing a game.

Manipulating vulnerable psychology—this trick has been overused in Web3, and India is just the beginning.
