The caller told the victim that he was speaking from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).  When he clicked a link sent by the accused, Rs. 3 lakh was debited from his bank account on Wednesday. 

Realizing that he was cheated, he immediately complained by calling 1930. D4C DSP N.Venugopal Reddy said they could freeze the entire amount in the accused’s bank account as the victim had complained within the ‘golden hour’ –  less than an hour after the fraud occurred.  The DSP said they would get back the money by following all due procedures. He said complaining about cybercrime in less than an hour is crucial to getting back the lost money.  (Maxim News)
