Gurugram Cyber Fraud Case: Cyber thugs digitally arrested a woman resident of Gurugram on a video call by threatening her that her Aadhar card and new SIM would be used for money laundering. After this, they defrauded her of Rs 1.25 lakh in the name of checking bank accounts.
Sector 46 resident Paridhi Jain in her complaint to Cyber Thana East Police said that she received a phone call a few days ago. The caller said that a new SIM has been taken from her Aadhar card. This SIM is being used to harass people and for money laundering.
To avoid this, he said that he would transfer her call to Mumbai Cyber Police. After this, the cyber fraudsters talked to her posing as cyber police officers. They said that she would either have to come to Mumbai or cooperate in the investigation on video call. Due to fear, the woman remained on the video.
During this time, the fraudsters made her deposit Rs. 1.25 lakh in several accounts in the name of checking the accounts. They said that the money would be returned after the investigation, but when the money was not returned, she realized that it was a fraud. The cyber police has registered a case and started investigation.
