AI Scam India need to Wake Up

 Stop the Scam: India Must Act Against AI-Generated Fraud and Easy-Money Traps

In the past few months, my social media feeds have been flooded with seem ingly credible videos — featuring the likes of Elon Musk, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Infosys founder Narayana Murthy, and Reliance’s Mukesh Ambani — all claiming one bizarre thing: Deposit ₹21,000 into a “special” link, and earn ₹21 lakh per month. "AI QUANTUM" is the name given. 


As a responsible citizen, I want to make this loud and clear — this is a scam. A deepfake, AI-generated hoax. And it’s not just an annoyance. It’s a digital epidemic that’s threatening the very fabric of our working-class economy and confusing the already struggling Indian youth.

 When AI Meets Greed: The Rise of Deepfake Frauds

Using AI tools and deepfake technology, scammers have started impersonating trusted public figures — from global tech giants to Indian policymakers — to promote fake investment schemes. With hyper-realistic voiceovers and doctored videos, these clips look so authentic that many unsuspecting people fall for them.


And it doesn't stop there. From fake stock tips and crypto “insider” groups to online lotteries and gaming apps that promise to multiply your money, the manipulation is constant and pervasive.

The Trap: Easy Money, Empty Wallets

These platforms prey on:

- The unemployed youth hoping for a side income.

- The middle-class worker looking to beat inflation.

- The retired citizen searching for extra financial security.


They promise “Work From Home. No Skills Needed. 10X Returns.” In reality, it’s “Money Lost. No Accountability. Mental Trauma.”


India has a rich talent pool, a strong digital ecosystem, and a youth population that wants to work, upskill, and grow legitimately. But this growing digital circus of gambling, fake lotteries, and AI-based fraud is misleading millions.

 It's Time the Government Steps In

As a developing nation, we cannot afford confusion and exploitation at this scale. It’s time the Government of India, through ministries like MeitY, SEBI, and MHA, take strict, swift, and strategic actions:

1. Immediate Takedown of Fraudulent Websites

2. AI & Deepfake Content Regulation

3. Ban Online Gambling & Fake Lottery Schemes

4. Public Awareness Campaigns

5. Support for Legitimate Skill-Based Platforms

 Let’s Change the Narrative

Let us stop feeding this toxic mindset that “money can be made overnight”. That dream is just a trap.


Let us instead say:

- “Learn a skill.”

- “Earn with integrity.”

- “Work hard, grow steady.”


The youth of this country deserves legit opportunities, not manipulated fantasies. Let’s ensure that we are building a nation of creators, innovators, and skilled contributors — not just digital victims of a scam economy.

Final Word

I urge every citizen reading this:

Don’t forward these fake links. Don’t invest based on AI-generated ads. Report scams immediately.


And to those in power — this is the moment to act. Stop the hoax. Protect the people. Preserve the integrity of our digital India.

 Yet another malayalam movie, "CBI Ramachandran Retired SI". I can vouch than no other language in the whole world can boast of taking a movie without a Superstar or star ensamble. A simple movie with again a great story with an excellent narration. The screenplay is so good that, the entire movie is not at all dragging and on top of it gripping to the end. As usual the actors, Kalabhavan Shajon, Biju, and the other cast's has done jusitce to thier roles. Another revolution happening to the malayalam movie is the second generation. Sanoop Sathyan, son of Sathyan Anthikad has done an excellent craftman ship as the director. Today if you take the second generation of Malayalam film indurstry almost all of them have made a stamp of his/her own.  Coming back to the movie, it revolves around a murder mystry and how Ramachandran Retired SI solves the case. It's a make belief story, even then it has been scripted so good and well Directed. The background score is delicately ...

Medical Representative- The Fulcrum of the Company'

-
I am a second-generation Pharmaceutical employee, because of my father. He worked in an Indian Company which is now more than 150 years old for 42 years ( Can anybody Imagine now?.) My father was a Medical Representative for 35 years and the company could not terminate him (Joking) because he was doing the so called "Targets" month after month, but will not go to the field. The Doctor's and the stockist's use to come to our home those days. A doctor would ask for a course of Antibiotic (Cephalexin) which was considered as the ultimate in community acquired infection and he would give 2 strips of 2 capsules and ask the Doctor to buy the rest from the medical shop. I do not now it was his arrogance, or it was the way the Doctor's respected him those days. The company promoted him as Sales Manger in it's Kochi Depot and he continued to work for another 7 years. He was handling the entire state of Kerala, the M.R's, Managers and even in the month end he was as...

Blog on "Nadanna Sambavam"

-
 Today I watched a movie "Nadanna Sambavam", a malayalam movie, directed by Vishnu Narayanan starring Biju Menon, Suraj Venjaramoodu and others. A well crafted script and direction was excellent. Both actors have done extremely good, but I will give Suraj an extra pat on the back, because of his sutility to enact the character. He has really matured from an ordinary comedy artist to a genius of an actor. This is the advantage of the new trend of malayalam movies. You don't require Super stars or require granduer sets to take a movie. The theme is the winner and the simple story with a make belief characters takes this movie way ahead from others.
