costly scam short story

The Costly Click Aarav, a college student, received a message on Instagram saying he had won a free iPhone 15. Excited and curious, he clicked the link without thinking twice. The website looked real. It asked for just ₹999 as a delivery fee. “Such a small amount for an iPhone!” he thought, and quickly paid through UPI. For a few minutes, Aarav felt lucky. He even imagined showing the phone to his friends. But suddenly, the website stopped working. The messages disappeared. No replies. No iPhone. Turning Point Aarav realized he had been trapped in a digital scam. Instead of staying silent, he reported the fraud to the cybercrime portal and warned his friends online. That day, he learned a lesson he would never forget: > “In the digital world, one careless click can cost everything.”
