Authors

Abstract
The “Digital Arrest” phenomenons refers to a
rising kind of cyber fraud in which perpetrators impersonate law enforcement or
government authorities, often via phone or video calls or messaging, falsely
accuse persons of crimes, claim a warrant or immediate warrant or arrest, and
coercively extract money or personal data under fear of legal repercussions.
This paper explores the nature, legal status, and modus operandi, sociologic
and psychological impacts of digital arrest scams, situates the concept within
existing legal frameworks, discusses challenges in enforcement and prevention,
and provides recommendations for policy, law enforcement, and public awareness.
