Woman Loses Rs. 1.7 Lakh to Cyber Fraudsters Posing as Bank Officials
Hyderabad, Feb 19 (Maxim News): A 35-year-old woman was scammed out of Rs. 1.7 lakh by cybercriminals who pretended to be bank officials.
The fraudsters called her, claiming they needed to update her Know Your Customer (KYC) details. They sent her a WhatsApp link and instructed her to enter her credit card and bank account details.
While still on the call, she followed their instructions and entered her card details. Moments later, she started receiving debit messages from her bank. When she questioned the caller, they abruptly disconnected the call.
Sensing something was wrong, she immediately contacted her bank to freeze her account. However, she later received another alert showing that Rs. 1.7 lakh had been withdrawn from a second account.
The victim has filed a complaint with the Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police, who have now launched an investigation into the case. (Maxim News)
