82-year-old doctor duped of Rs 1.2 crore in digital arrest fraud
By falsely threatening to arrest him in person and claiming he was being digitally arrested, two scammers posing as fake CBI officials managed to trap the 82-year-old doctor from Tiruvarur district, who ended up losing Rs 1.19 crore.
The cybercrime police arrested the two accused who threatened to visit the doctor in person and arrest him unless he made a transaction of a huge sum. Like this, they extorted money from the doctor by claiming that he was involved in illegal activities and was being "digitally arrested."
