In a recent case of digital fraud, a constable fell victim to scammers who managed to access his bank accounts and credit card information. Despite not sharing the OTP, the fraudsters were able to make a transaction of Rs 1.9 lakh from his gold loan account. Luckily, the constable acted quickly to freeze his accounts and prevent further losses.

The police suspect that the scammers used a malicious APK file to gain access to the constable’s mobile phone and bank accounts. It is believed that the constable may have unknowingly clicked on a harmful link sent by the fraudsters, allowing them to install malware on his device and capture sensitive information.

As the investigation continues, authorities are looking into whether the QR code was tampered with to deceive the constable into downloading the malicious APK file. This incident highlights the importance of being cautious with digital payments and taking steps to protect yourself from scams.

To avoid falling victim to similar scams, remember to verify QR codes before scanning them, always check the recipient’s name, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and only use official and verified apps for digital transactions. Stay vigilant and be mindful of potential threats when making digital payments.
