Orthopaedician Duped of Rs 5.65 lakh by fraudster posing as bank executive

"We immediately checked his bank statements and found out where the money got transferred. We got in touch with the nodal officer of the two e-wallets and the bank to which the money was transferred to and froze the account before the money could be withdrawn. The fraudster had already withdrawn Rs 65,000 through ATM but we recovered Rs 5 lakh. It is very important to approach the police as soon as possible with your bank statement in cases like these," Sachin Trimukhe, sub-inspector of Khar police station, told The Indian Express.

It is alarming to note that there has been an increase in the number of cases like these where fraudsters and cons are able to dupe unsuspecting professionals of their hard earned money. It is important to be alert and careful and citizens are advised to not share their bank details with strangers. As Sub-Inspector Sachin Trimukhe pointed out, if a person suspects fraud, it is very important to approach the police as soon as possible with your bank statement at the earliest.
