Cyber ​​fraudsters duped an 82-year-old woman from Kerala and swindled Rs 72 lakh from her bank account. On August 23, the woman received a call from an unknown number. The caller introduced himself as an RBI officer and said that her credit card has been blocked. He asked the woman to unblock the card immediately. After this, the woman received another call in which the fraudster introduced himself as a CBI officer.

The woman panicked and the fraudster asked her to cooperate while the investigation is going on. After this, the fraudster showed fake documents to the woman and said that she would be arrested if she did not cooperate.

Taking bank details from the woman: The fraudster asked the woman for her bank account details and said that if she did not cooperate in the investigation, her arrest was certain. Out of fear, the woman gave her bank details to the fraudsters, after which Rs 72 lakh were stolen.
