Doctor loses Rs 2 crore to drug parcel scam

Hyderabad: In a cyber fraud case, a doctor at Ameen Hospital in Rayachoti allegedly fell victim to a drug parcel scam, losing a staggering Rs 2 crore to scammers posing as police officers.
The scam began five months ago when the doctor received a phone call from a number showing the photo of a police officer. The caller claimed that a drug package had been sent in his name from London and that a case had been filed against him.
Further, the fraudsters threatened him with arrest and claimed that a drug mafia had planned to kill him which frightened the doctor.

To enhance the credibility of their scam, the criminals conducted regular video calls with the doctor, showing him a fake police station. After believing the fraudsters, the doctor transferred ₹2 crores to the scammers over 25 transactions.
As per a Newstap report, the fraud was uncovered when Assam police arrested one of the cyber criminals. They contacted the doctor, informing him of the scam and advising him to file a complaint with the local police. The case is currently under investigation.
