Hyderabad: Cyber criminals ek baar phir Hyderabad mein active ho gaye hain, jahan 2 logon se mil kar ₹2.7 lakh ka online fraud kiya gaya. Dono cases mein fraudsters ne fake apps aur bogus customer service calls ka sahara le kar victims ko trap kiya.
Pehla case Ameerpet ka hai jahan ek 50 saal ki aurat ko RBL Bank ka employee ban kar call kiya gaya. Caller ne kaha ke unka credit card limit ₹5 lakh tak badhaya jaa sakta hai, bas ek file download karni hogi jo unhone bheji. File download karne aur card details enter karne ke kuch hi der baad unke do bank accounts se ₹1.28 lakh chala gaya.
Dusra case Asifnagar ke 56 saal ke ek aadmi ka hai jo Super Money app par failed transaction resolve karne ki koshish kar rahe the. Unhone Google par support number search kiya, lekin jis number par call mila woh directly fraudsters tak pahucha. Unhone bhi ek APK file bheji jo supposedly issue fix karne ke liye thi. File install karne aur steps follow karne ke baad victim ke account se ₹1.43 lakh nikal gaya.
Cybercrime ACP Shivamaruthi ne kaha ke dono cases mein fraudsters ne APK files ka istemal kiya jo legit apps ka nakal hoti hain. In files ko install karte hi criminals ko victim ke sensitive banking details ka access mil jata hai.
ACP ne logon ko chetavani di ke unknown sources se koi bhi app ya file download na karein, aur customer support ke liye hamesha official website ya verified sources ka hi sahara lein. Ye naye tareeqe ke online scams un logon ko target kar rahe hain jo kisi problem ka hal dhoond rahe hote hain lekin fraud ka shikar ban jate hain.
