With cyber frauds on the rise, the Indian government has launched the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) to fight online crimes and protect citizens. Approved on October 5, 2018, and implemented on January 10, 2020, I4C provides a real-time database to check suspicious identities and report scams.
The I4C database is available on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal under the ‘Report and Check Suspect’ section. This tool allows you to:
✅ Verify Suspicious Identities – Check if a mobile number, email, or UPI ID is linked to fraud.
✅ Report Fraudsters – Directly flag scam calls, fake bank officials, or cybercriminals.
✅ Appeal Against Cyber Fraud – Seek justice through the Grievance Redressal Appellate Authority.
🔹 Stay Aware – Access real-time scammer data to avoid fraudulent calls and messages.
🔹 Prevent Financial Scams – Verify identities before sharing personal information or making payments.
🔹 Empower Yourself – Reporting cybercriminals helps strengthen digital safety for all.
Scammers often impersonate government officials and threaten victims with digital arrest to extort money. With I4C, you can verify suspicious IDs and block fraudsters instantly.
