In a shocking case, a Karnataka– based doctor reportedly lost Rs 22 lakh to a sophisticated cyber fraud that involved promises of a huge monetary reward. The fraud began when a person claiming to be from abroad contacted the doctor, offering 25 lakh US dollars as appreciation for his work.
According to the police, soon after, another individual, claiming to be a Customs Officer, called the doctor and said that a parcel addressed to him had arrived and that customs duty had to be paid to release it. Over the course of three days, the doctor visited a local Canara Bank branch to transfer amounts to different accounts as instructed by the fraudsters.
