Mumbai: In a disturbing incident, a 26-year-old woman from Borivali East, Mumbai, fell victim to a sophisticated cyber scam, losing ₹1.7 lakh. The woman, who works in the pharmaceutical industry, received a call on November 19 from individuals posing as Delhi Police officers.
They falsely claimed she was implicated in a money laundering case involving Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal.
The scammers coerced her into booking a hotel room for a supposed investigation and instructed her to strip during a video call for “body verification.” Under duress, she complied and also transferred ₹1.7 lakh for “bank details verification.” Realizing she had been scammed, the woman reported the incident to the police on November 28.
The Mumbai Police have registered a case and are investigating the matter.
