HDFC Securities Releases Episode 3 of ‘Scam 2025 Exposes India’s Digital Scam Epidemic: How Fraudsters Are Targeting Investor Trust

Mumbai, 3 November 2025: The third instalment of #Scam2025, the gripping investor awareness series by HDFC Securities, has arrived, and it’s darker, sharper, and disturbingly real. Titled “The Practical Class,” this episode transforms financial fraud into a lesson straight out of a scammer’s playbook. With biting humour and unnerving authenticity, it captures how fake investment apps are becoming the new tools of deception, teaching viewers not just how scams happen, but how dangerously convincing they’ve become.

“Agar Karna Hai Poore India Ko Trap…” Inside the Classroom of Scammers

The episode opens with an unsettlingly comical scene, a group of conmen seated in a classroom, learning the art of deception. Their “teacher” begins, “Agar karna hai poore India ko trap, toh bana lo fake investment app.” The line sets the tone for a chilling lesson in modern crime.
What follows is a twisted kind of tutorial. The scammers debate app logos, argue over names, and laugh as they create what looks like a legitimate trading platform. “Yeh toh Goa ki hai ji… arre, oh, sorry!” one of them blurts out, revealing how fraudsters mock authenticity itself. It’s funny at first glance, until you realise it mirrors real scams that have cost Indians crores of rupees.

The instructor sums it up bluntly: “Log paisa daalenge, par nikaal nahi paayenge.” It’s the perfect scam, believable, sleek, and devastating.

Digital Scams Soar 47% in 2025: A New Kind of Financial Threat

The ad’s fictional classroom echoes a real crisis. According to cybersecurity reports, fake investment and trading apps have surged by 47% this year. Many of these fraudulent platforms imitate trusted names and lure users with promises of quick returns. Once deposits are made, the apps vanish, leaving victims with empty wallets and little recourse.

#Scam2025 Episode 3 captures this phenomenon through dark humour and social commentary. By staging scams as lessons, it cleverly portrays how fraudsters evolve faster than regulations can keep up. Every frame reflects how India’s booming digital finance ecosystem is being shadowed by a parallel industry of deception.

“Ab Hum Chor Nahi Hai, Scam Artist Hai” How Deceit Has Become a Digital Profession

At the heart of the episode lies its most haunting line: “Ab hum chor nahi hai, scam artist hai.” This single dialogue sums up the evolution of crime in the fintech age. Fraudsters no longer view themselves as petty thieves, they see themselves as innovators of illusion.

Through sharp dialogues and crisp visuals, the campaign lays bare how scammers craft entire identities, clone legitimate brands, and manipulate investors’ trust. By portraying this transformation with satire, the ad makes a complex issue both accessible and unforgettable.

The 47% rise in scam apps underscores the urgency of digital awareness. With technology advancing at breakneck speed, the episode urges viewers to stay alert, double-check app authenticity, and never share sensitive information with unverified sources.

HDFC Securities’ #Scam2025 Campaign Sparks a National Dialogue on Awareness

By producing #Scam2025, HDFC Securities isn’t just warning viewers—it’s igniting a national dialogue about online financial safety. The campaign turns education into entertainment, using storytelling to empower investors against cybercrime.

Its closing line – “App se bhi registered na ho toh download na karein”—serves as both advice and alarm. The ad ends not with a logo, but with a message: trust needs verification.

Through #Scam2025 Episode 3, HDFC Securities reinforces one truth—scams succeed in silence, but awareness can break the chain.
