Stop Credential Fraud in Real-Time with Digital Arrest

In June 2025, a woman in India lost over ₹3 crore to a scam that started with a single phone call. The scammers used fake credentials, fear tactics, and official-sounding language to steal her money in real time. This isn't a one-off case. Across India, digital arrest scams are rising fast targeting everyday citizens, professionals, and even government bodies.

What's making it worse? Outdated systems that can't detect credential fraud or revoke access instantly. Let's be honest, manual checks and static databases can't keep up. Fraudsters move faster than legacy systems. And when credentials are misused, the damage is immediate. That's where real-time credential fraud prevention becomes critical.

A Digital Arrest Isn't an Official Term, Yet Scammers Are Using It Like It Is

The phrase "digital arrest" sounds legal, urgent, and terrifying. That's exactly why it works. Here's how a typical scam goes: Someone calls pretending to be from the police, CBI, or a cybercrime unit. They say your credentials (like a license, Aadhaar number, or passport) have been used in illegal activity. They show you fake documents or even video calls with "officers." Then comes the hook, they say you've been digitally arrested and must follow their instructions or face jail time.

In panic, people start transferring money, sharing personal information, or clicking malicious links. This tactic is no longer rare. Digital arrest scams in India are becoming a full-blown cybercrime trend. The real problem? Most institutions have no way to verify, revoke, or challenge a credential in real time. Fraudsters exploit this delay.

The Core Problem: Gaps in Credential Revocation

Gaps in credential revocation happen not because we issue credentials, but because we can't revoke them fast enough when something goes wrong. Here's the current situation most organizations face:

If someone is blacklisted, suspended, or flagged—how quickly can your system revoke their credential and alert the right teams? If the answer isn't "instantly," that's a gap. And gaps are goldmines for scammers.

A Solution to Stop Credential Fraud in Real-Time

We design Digital Arrest-style systems with one goal: help you stop credential fraud before the damage is done—not after. Introducing Digital Arrest as a Real-Time Solution—Built for You

Here's the truth: most fraud detection systems are reactive. They alert you after something goes wrong. But by then, it's too late. At EveryCRED, we believe fraud prevention needs to be built differently—faster, decentralized, and designed to match how scams actually unfold today.

A Digital Arrest Isn't Just a Threat; It's the Solution

Our solution is built to catch fraud in motion, revoke access instantly, and protect your institution from becoming the next headline. We use Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, and SSI protocols to create systems that integrate directly into your agency's workflow without forcing a complete tech overhaul.

Use Case: Law Enforcement Needs Instant Verification—Not Delays

A traffic officer stops a vehicle and scans the driver's license. It looks real but it's expired. Or worse, revoked. The problem? The officer has no way to verify that in real time. At EveryCRED, we help build that real-time layer of trust.

Why Compliance Teams & Risk Officers Need This Now

Credential misuse doesn't just cause fraud. It creates liability. If your organization issues professional licenses, certifications, or IDs and someone uses a revoked or fake one to cause harm, your team gets the spotlight—and not in a good way.

Using Technologies Like Blockchain Credential Verification

We help you design systems that use technologies like blockchain credential verification, ZKPs, and decentralized identifiers. We build solutions customized for your risk environment—no bloated software, just smart, modular infrastructure.
