In a recent case of cyber fraud reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun district, a woman was allegedly duped of nearly Rs 9.70 lakh by fraudsters posing as representatives for an online doctor appointment service.
According to the complaint filed with the cybercrime police, the fraud began with a seemingly harmless request for a nominal Rs 2 payment to confirm a doctor's appointment. However, within a few days, cyber criminals allegedly carried out 19 unauthorized transactions from the victim’s bank account, siphoning off Rs 9,70,769.
