Visakhapatnam Scam: You must have seen the Bollywood film ‘Special 26’, in which Akshay Kumar and his team used to cheat rich people and businessmen by posing as fake CBI officers. This was about the film, but what we are going to tell you now has happened in real life. Actually, a shocking case has come to light from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, where a gang posing as CBI officers cheated a retired officer of a multinational company of Rs 85 lakh on Skype.

How was the fraud executed?

A retired manager working in a pharma company receives a call on Skype from a gang who introduce themselves as CBI, Customs, Narcotics and Income Tax officials. These fake officials ask for a cheque for verification and say that your money will be returned in some time. The victim falls for the gang’s words and deposits the cheque in a nearby bank. According to NDTV’s report, this gang took money from the cheque and transferred it to a company named Rana Garments. Rana Garments has an account in HDFC Bank in Uttam Nagar, Delhi.

The victim told his ordeal

The victim was working as an Associate General Manager in a pharma company and has retired. The 57-year-old victim says that I had three years left in my service, but I decided to retire on my own. The reason behind this was that I needed time to prepare my son for sending him to college. He further said that I got retirement on May 2 and my son had an appointment for visa on May 17.

According to the victim, earlier on May 14, the gang cheated me and swindled Rs 85 lakh from me. Not only this, I was also told that your money will be returned after checking the records. Along with this, he told that the gang asked me to go to the nearest HDFC bank and deposit the cheque.
