Digital threat: Keralites losing Rs 85 lakh every day to cyber fraudsters

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It’s crazy. Despite numerous awareness campaigns, including constant reminders via text messages, against online scams, Keralites continue to lose lakhs of rupees to cyber fraudsters.

As per official police documents, scammers are, on an average, swindling a whopping Rs 85 lakh every day (you read that right) from Kerala! Going by the figure, it can be safely assumed Keralites would lose more than Rs 300 crore this year in cyber scams.
