80-Year-Old Woman Cheated Of 22 Lakhs By Fake Police Commissioner
The fraudster threatened the woman saying that a parcel containing narcotic drugs had been sent to Delhi using her mobile number, and demanded the money.
An 80-year-old retired woman from Hyderabad received a call a few days back from an unidentified person claiming to be the Police Commissioner.
The fraudster threatened the woman saying that a parcel containing narcotic drugs had been sent to Delhi using her mobile number, and demanded that the victim transfer money to the RBI for verification and confirmation.
The victim, believing the caller, immediately went to HDFC Bank and transferred Rs 22,00,000 via RTGS to the account number provided by the fraudster.
When the victim's son called her and found out what happened, he told her that it was a spam call. He then immediately took her to the cyber crime police station to file a complaint to take necessary action against the perpetrators.
