A resident of Nagpur fell victim to a sophisticated cyber fraud, resulting in a loss of approximately ₹21 lakh. According to reports, the victim received what appeared to be a legitimate communication—likely via phone or email—claiming to be from a bank or financial service provider. Misled by convincing messages and fraudulent links, the victim was persuaded to transfer large sums of money, only to realize later that it was a scam. Police have registered a cybercrime case and are investigating the matter, including tracing the online transactions and identifying the perpetrators. Officials stressed that fraudsters often use high-pressure tactics and fake verification methods to exploit victims, making awareness and vigilance essential for all digital transactions. Cybercrime experts highlight that such scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and widespread, targeting both individuals and businesses. Victims are often lured into sharing OTPs, banking details, or confidential information, which criminals then exploit. Authorities advise people to verify calls, avoid clicking unknown links, and report suspicious communications immediately. Banks and law enforcement agencies are also stepping up digital security campaigns to educate the public on recognizing and preventing cyber fraud. #NagpurNews #CyberFraud #DigitalScam #FinancialSafety #OnlineSecurity #Cybercrime #PoliceInvestigation #AwarenessCampaign #FraudAlert #ProtectYourMoney
