“Cyber Fraudsters have a new way to deceive you now. In the recent case, cybercriminals acted as the Delhi police.”

These days, cyberattack cases are rising at a high rate. Recently, a cyberfraud case has arisen. Cybercriminals, imitating a senior Delhi police officer, scammed a city man out of Rs 53 lakh.

Cybercrime Officials

“The victim received a call from a cyber fraudster claiming to be a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) from Delhi Police.”

“Using fear tactics, the scammer convinced the victim to transfer all his life savings to a bank account for verification by the RBI, assuring him that the money would be credited back after validation.”

How Did the Attack Happen?

During video talks, the scammer, dressed in a police uniform, told the victim that he was the suspect of a money laundering case and that his bank accounts would shortly be frozen.
He added that a formal inquiry was in progress and that an arrest warrant had been issued against him.
The scammer supplied several fake documents to make the cheat seem authentic, including:

An acknowledgment letter from the Finance Department,
An RBI and a Supreme Court freezing order,
A fund supervision certificate, and
A law enforcement inspection notice.

Fearing legal repercussions, the victim transferred a total of Rs 53 lakh into the fraudster’s bank account, believing these documents to be authentic.
Only after a complaint was filed with the cybercrime police did the scam become obvious.
