the call was from some police inspector regarding something bad I cursed and disconnected the call.

I also got message from Morocco ....till some time now our numbers were being used by Indian scammers . Now international scammers want their share too.

I blame mostly the chinese handsets and apps we buy and use for making our details available much easier.
 
This is a well known scam currently going on, please tell about this to your family members as well so that they don't panic.

They generally target senior citizens and try to scare them that their ward has committed some heinous crime.

From here


The DoT has urged the public to report such fraudulent calls through the 'Chakshu-Report Suspected Fraud Communications' facility on the Sanchar Saathi portal (www.sancharsaathi.gov.in).

Proactive reporting can assist the DoT in preventing the misuse of telecom resources for cybercrimes and financial frauds.

hope, you and others, once came to know it's scam call, just, NEVER tell them them the truth or confirm in anyway, if they came to know truth, next time either they used same or avoid same in their favor.
