Staff at the State Bank of India's Lothukunta branch in Hyderabad successfully thwarted an attempt by digital scammers to defraud a 78-year-old doctor of ₹30 lakh. The incident is part of a growing trend of cyber fraud targeting elderly individuals, with recent reports highlighting various scams, including a separate case where an ex-ship captain lost ₹11 crore and an ex-bank employee was defrauded of ₹3.57 crore through video call threats. The proactive measures taken by the bank staff underscore the importance of vigilance in preventing such financial crimes.
