In a shocking case of cyber fraud, a 68-year-old woman from Churchgate allegedly lost Rs 17 lakh after unknowingly downloading a fake mobile app while trying to book a doctor’s appointment for her son.
At the time of making the appointment, the woman was unaware she was being scammed. She only realised something was wrong when she visited her bank to update her passbook, and the staff informed her that her fixed deposits of Rs 5.4 lakh and Rs 11.6 lakh had been closed, with the money transferred to her account and subsequently withdrawn.
