Scammers posing as officials from Mumbai cyber police and central probe agencies have duped two women in Pune, an IT professional and a doctor, into transferring a total of Rs 32 lakh. The IT professional was convinced that criminal cases had been filed against her in multiple states for money laundering, while the doctor was threatened with action for allegedly linking her Aadhaar card to a person with multiple FIRs against them. The scammers used various tactics, including showing bogus FIRs and arrest warrants during video calls, to pressure the women into transferring the money. Both victims realized they had been tricked when the scammers stopped communicating and refused to refund the money. Authorities are investigating the cases and warning the public to be cautious of such scams.
