Man loses Rs 2.65L in fraud linked to fine rebate in Karnataka
BENGALURU: As the state government has announced a 50% rebate on pending traffic e-challan fines, cyber fraudsters are taking advantage of the situation by duping the public through APK file links claiming to help check and pay fines.
Recently, a 50-year-old software engineer lost Rs 2.65 lakh after clicking on an APK file sent through WhatsApp, believing it to be a link to clear his traffic violation dues online.
