This incident became even more interesting when the scammer accidentally selected a cyber cell officer as his victim over video call.
Fake police called real police
The whole thing started when the scammer was pretending to be an officer by wearing a police uniform. He identified himself as a Mumbai Police officer on the video call. However, on the other hand, there was an officer of Thrissur Cyber Cell himself, who talked to the scammer while hiding his identity.
As soon as the scammer asked, “Where are you?” So the officer replied, “My camera is not working properly, sir.” The scammer repeatedly insisted on turning on the camera. When the officer turned on the camera and asked a direct question, “What do you do?” So the scammer immediately realized his mistake.
