About us
"Congratulations! Aapne Rs 25 lakh jeete hain. Press 1 to claim."
We all know that call. We have all laughed at it. But do you know why millions of people still fall for it every year?
CitizenSetu is a community for everyday people — not lawyers, not cyber experts — just neighbours, colleagues, and friends who want to stay one step ahead of scams, fraud, and the systems that feel designed to confuse us.
We don't do boring lectures. We do:
- Live scam simulations
- Quiz nights (KBC format, obviously)
- Anonymous confession sessions
- Real case breakdowns
- 'Mom, Don't Click That!' workshops
Think of it as your neighbourhood's smartest friend — except there are hundreds of us.
No jargon. No judgment. Just real stories, a lot of laughs, and information that actually protects you and your family.
Come as you are. Leave more prepared.
