Mysuru: Cyber criminals in the guise of Mumbai Police have cheated a senior citizen, a resident of Bhyraveshwara Nagar in city to the tune of Rs. 11.80 lakh.
About 15 days back, the senior citizen received a call from an unknown number and the caller on the other end of the phone, who identified himself as a Cop from Kolaba Police Station in Mumbai, told the senior citizen that his mobile phone number has been used for unlawful activities and his mobile phone will be seized in two hours. Cyber fraudsters, who came to know that the senior citizen was in fear and shock, made a video call and collected information including the senior citizen’s bank accounts and even jewellery he had.
