As the financial year draws to a close, tax season becomes a goldmine—not just for chartered accountants, but also for scammers. In this eye-opening episode of Man vs Scam, cyber experts Brijesh Singh and Utkarshica Srivastava break down the most common and dangerous tax-related scams targeting individuals and businesses across India. From phishing emails promising fake income tax refunds to the misuse of PAN and Aadhaar details, the episode exposes how fraudsters are exploiting the system to steal money and sensitive data. Brijesh and Utkarshica dive into the mechanics of these scams—how fake tax consultants operate, how "digital arrest" calls are used to extort money, and how cybercriminals are luring victims with fake job offers and work-from-home schemes. Real, viral case studies are unpacked, including a ₹110 crore tax refund scam involving IT professionals, digital impersonation fraud, and job scam networks that have forced young Indians into illegal activities abroad. The duo also explores the steps taken by the Income Tax Department and government agencies to combat these scams, while offering practical advice on how you can stay protected. Whether you're filing your taxes or just want to stay ahead of cybercrime trends, this episode is packed with insights and takeaways. Stay alert, verify all communication through official channels, and remember—if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay sharp. Stay safe. Stay scam-free.
