A series of recent cyber fraud cases has raised alarms in Mumbai, with victims losing substantial amounts to scammers posing as law enforcement officials. One incident involved a Thane man who lost Rs 59 lakh after fraudsters claimed that a parcel linked to him contained drugs. In another case, a Mumbai woman was duped of Rs 6.37 lakh through an Instagram advertisement promising easy money. Experts warn that scammers often use tactics such as urgency and promises of guaranteed profits to lure victims into fake investment schemes. Authorities advise individuals to remain vigilant, verify apps, and avoid unrealistic return promises to protect themselves from such scams.
