Senior citizen duped of ₹49k
Ahmedabad:12.10.2021
A senior citizen was cheated out of more than Rs 49,000 after she tried to fill up an online form to change the address for medicines she had ordered.
Dr Kamexa Dwarikaprasad told Sardarnagar police that she had ordered some medicine and got a call from a courier company on September 16 that her medicine had arrived. They said the medicine would be delivered the next day.
She told police, “I searched for the courier firm’s contact on the internet and got two phone numbers. When I called one of the numbers, they asked me to fill up an online form for which i would have to pay a charge of Rs 5.” The cybercrooks asked the doctor to download an app, and then fill up the form.
They then stole Rs 49,486 from her bank account. TNN
