Anantapur doctor loses Rs 98 lakh in online trading scam
Cyber Fraud
Anantapur: A doctor from the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Anantapur reportedly lost Rs 98.24 lakh in an elaborate online trading scam, highlighting the increasing threat of cyber fraud targeting healthcare professionals.
According to the news reports, the doctor received a voice message on December 15 from a woman, a trading and financial analyst with Goldman Sachs. She persuaded the doctor to invest in the platform with promises of high returns. Over a period of two months, the doctor reportedly transferred money in phases from his bank accounts, totalling Rs 98.24 lakh.
Although his online wallet later displayed Rs 2.20 crore, when he attempted to withdraw the funds, there was no response. The doctor then lodged a complaint with Two Town police, who have registered a case.
