The 76-year-old doctor fell victim to the elaborate scam, losing a total of Rs 28 lakh to the cybercriminals. The scammers used tactics such as posing as law enforcement officials and threatening the doctor with arrest if he did not comply with their demands. Despite denying any involvement in illegal activities, the doctor was coerced into transferring the money to multiple accounts in order to clear his name from the alleged credit card fraud case.
The police have advised the public to be cautious of such scams and to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be from a government agency. It is important to remember that legitimate authorities would never ask for personal or financial information over the phone or through messaging apps. Stay safe and be vigilant against these cyber threats.
