Cyber fraud: Cybercriminals keep cheating innocent people using new tricks. Now cyber thugs have found a new way of fraud, in which a person was cheated in the name of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India). The person was told that his mobile number is going to be closed and he was cheated of about 90 lakh rupees by giving the pretext of getting him involved in a money laundering case.
What is the whole matter?
Actually, this whole matter is from Muzaffarpur, Bihar, where a businessman named Dinesh Kumar receives a call. The person calling introduces himself as an officer of TRAI. The person claiming to be an officer tells Dinesh that another SIM has been issued from his number, after which the call was transferred to a mobile by giving the number of the police station.
How are scammers trapping you?
The person receives a video call in which it is told that an account has been opened in Canara Bank with your Aadhar card and illegal transactions have been done in it. In this regard, you will have to be present at Tilak Nagar police station. Along with this, a link was also sent to the person, after opening which a PDF copy of the guidelines of SEBI, ED and CBI and a document of money laundering case was found. In this way, Dinesh was cheated of Rs 89 lakh 90 thousand.
Now the big question that arises is how to avoid such scams. It is important for you not to click on any unknown link. Along with this, be patient when you receive a threatening call. Scammers use many tricks to trap innocent people. In this way, you have to work smartly.
