Elderly woman loses Rs 3.9 crore over seven months in ‘digital arrest’ scam in Karnataka
MANGALURU: An elderly woman has lost Rs 3.9 crore in a cyber scam in which fraudsters, posing as employees of a post office, convinced her that she was under a ‘digital arrest’ for ‘sending a parcel containing MDMA’.
Over a period of seven months, the victim was coerced into transferring the money to obtain a ‘no objection certificate’ to clear her name.
