Scammers are always looking for new ways to trick unsuspecting victims, and a recent incident in Noida serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of falling for their schemes. In this case, a woman was targeted by fraudsters who posed as officials from TRAI and the police.
The scammers managed to convince the woman that her bank account was under investigation and instructed her to transfer a whopping ₹15.35 lakh to another account for “verification purposes.” Unfortunately, after the money was transferred, the scammers cut off all contact with her, leaving her high and dry.
This isn’t the first time such a scam has been reported in the area. Just last month, another woman fell victim to a similar scheme and lost ₹11,11,295 to scammers pretending to be TRAI officials and police officers.
Authorities are now warning citizens to stay vigilant and not to fall for these types of scams. They advise people to always verify the authenticity of any calls or messages they receive, especially if they are being asked to transfer money to unknown accounts.
It’s a harsh lesson to learn, but hopefully, by spreading awareness about these scams, we can prevent more people from becoming victims in the future. Stay safe and always double-check before sending money to anyone you don’t know and trust.
