📝 Abstract
The rapid digitization of India’s banking ecosystem has significantly increased the convenience of financial transactions. However, this transformation has simultaneously created vulnerabilities that cybercriminals exploit through online scams. This paper explores the prevalence, nature, and impact of online scams targeting bank customers in India. It provides a typology of major frauds, assesses their economic and social consequences, examines the role of bank officials, and evaluates current policy responses. The study draws on case studies, secondary data, and comparative global frameworks to suggest comprehensive strategies—preventive, punitive, regulatory, and cooperative—that can strengthen resilience against online scams. Recommendations include stricter punishments, enhanced digital literacy, cross-border enforcement, and improved accountability for financial and telecom institutions. The findings contribute to ongoing policy debates on consumer protection, financial security, and cyber resilience in India.
