Kerala, Thrissur Rural: The Chakshu portal is part of the Department of Telecommunications’ (DoT) Sanchar Sathi initiative aimed at combating cyber fraud and suspicious communications in India. It enables users to report fraudulent activities such as cybercrime, financial fraud, impersonation (e.g., impersonating officials), fake customer services, or fraudulent offers, including projects like setting up fake mobile towers. While the portal facilitates reporting, it does not directly handle financial fraud or cybercrime; users are redirected to the cybercrime helpline number 1930 or the official reporting website https://cyberpolice.nic.in/.
Key features include:
A focus on protecting users from fraudulent communications; Encouraging individuals to report suspicious activities, making them active participants in the fight against fraud; and providing authorities with more information to take action.
How to use:
Visit the Sanchar Sathi website at https://sancharsaathi.gov.in/.
Select the Chakshu Portal and enter details about the suspected fraud, including the mode of communication, date, and time.
Authorities will review the report and proceed with investigations.
