About
Rabinarayan Pradhan covers cybercrime and digital fraud for RakshaAI. His focus is on the scams that are actually harming people in India right now — not abstract threats, but the exact calls, messages, and links that are landing in real inboxes every day.
Before writing a single guide, he researches the full anatomy of each scam: how the first contact happens, what psychological pressure is applied, where the money goes, and why victims — often smart, careful people — still fall for it. That research shapes articles that don't just warn but explain.
Every piece ends the same way: with specific, time-sensitive actions you can take. Call 1930 within 30 minutes. Screenshot this. Report here. Because a guide that tells you "be careful" without telling you what to do isn't actually useful.
“Most people who get scammed aren't careless. They're just missing one piece of information that nobody told them in time.”
Rabinarayan is based in India and writes exclusively about threats targeting Indian internet users — UPI payment fraud, digital arrest impersonation, fake task job apps, phishing links, and the growing wave of AI-generated scam content targeting Hindi and regional-language speakers.
