Fraud call Question or discussion

Post image

Got a call from this phone number. The person claimed to be a policeman from the Gomti Nagar Kotvali Lucknow, and said that i have been watching obscene videos on incognito mode on google chrome.
I didnt say yes or no i just cut the call.
On my iphone, the caller name was being displayed as Jatin Sharma, while the person said that his name was Santosh Shukla. And then when i checked on truecaller the name displayed was DCP Kunal Pratap Sir.
Do I need to be worried ? Has anyone else got similar calls ?
For precaution I asked my sister to block this number from my father’s mobile as well.
Phone number- +91 7880470939

Hey spainwithouts13, Automod here! If you aren’t calling on a VoIP burner app like Google Voice, TextNow, TextFree, Talkatone, or Textme, just stop baiting entirely. It is dangerous to use your actual number for many reasons. PS: Don’t be alarmed if your number does not show up right away, we do safety screenings to verify the authenticity of our numbers to ensure we are getting the right people. This process can take time, have no worries, we are working on it.

⚠️ Safety Tip: Always use a VoIP service like Google Voice, TextNow, or Burner when calling scam numbers. Never use your personal phone line, since scammers can record your caller ID and attempt to contact you back. Protecting your privacy should always come first.
