Mumbai couple loses Rs 4 crore in cyber fraud

A couple from south Mumbai, who were previously employed by corporate houses, lost over Rs 4 crore in a cyber fraud. The wife received a call from someone claiming to be from the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, providing personal information to gain trust. The caller then convinced the couple to transfer money for various reasons, using multiple bank accounts. When the couple ran out of money, the caller threatened them with freezing their payments and involvement of the I-T department. The couple filed an FIR after their accounts were emptied.
