The Story:
Amit needed quick cash and downloaded an "Instant Loan App" from a link.
He granted the app permission to access his Contacts and Gallery.
He repaid the loan on time, but the app claimed he didn't.
They started calling his parents and friends, calling him a thief.
Then, they sent morphed, obscene photos of him to his office WhatsApp group.
Amit faced severe depression and social humiliation.
The Reality:
Illegal loan apps don't just charge high interest; they use extortion and public shaming as their business model.
How Cyber Insurance Helps:
β
Cyber Bullying / Stalking: Covers legal costs to stop the harassment.
β
Psychological Consultation: Pays for therapy to recover from the trauma.
β
Cyber Extortion: Covers you against financial demands made under threat of defamation.
Lesson: Never give "Gallery" or "Contacts" permission to a finance app.
