'After I Love You...': UP Police's Saiyaara-Style Warning Wins The Internet
UP Police's viral post uses movie 'Saiyaara' to warn against online scams stating 'Dil do, OTP nahi'
The Uttar Pradesh Police has taken an innovative approach to cybercrime awareness by using the popular film Saiyaara to educate the public. Their witty and relatable post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is attracting widespread attention and has already garnered over 160,000 views in just 12 hours, with a flood of comments from amused and appreciative users.
In their viral post, UP Police warns the public not to fall for online romance scams. The caption reads: ' Saiyaara se scam na ho jaaye yaara. Dil do, OTP nahin".
They cheekily reference the emotional reactions of cinema-goers to the film Saiyaara, contrasting them with the real shock of being conned online. The message is clear: 'After 'I love you', if you hear 'send OTP', your account balance might vanish".
The post warns users to be vigilant about online connections, hinting that your digital 'Saiyaara' could be a fraudster. They drive home the point with humour stating: 'Give your heart, not your OTP".
'सैयारा' से 'स्कैम ना हो जाये यारा''सैयारा' देखकर लोग सिनेमाघरों में बेहोश हो रहे हैं…लेकिन असली बेहोशी तब होगी,जब 'I love you' के बाद 'OTP भेजो प्लीज़' आएगा —और अकाउंट का बैलेंस ₹0 दिखाएगा।
