Friendship Gone Wrong: A Man Stuck in Cyber Fraud of 7 Crore Rupees from Bank Account

A man became a victim of a cyber fraud scheme, losing 7 crore rupees after trying to help a so-called friend.

A shocking case of cyber fraud has emerged, where a victim found himself entangled in a legal mess and lost 7 crore rupees while trying to help a friend. The victim, a student from a well-known engineering college, befriended a person named Ayush on an online platform. This relationship turned sour when Ayush, claiming his bank account was blocked due to low balance, sought assistance and requested access to the victim's banking details.

Trusting Ayush's claims, the engineering student provided him with sensitive information including ATM card details, banking passwords, and even linked SIM card information. The victim proceeded to send these confidential details through a parcel as part of the fraud scheme. After receiving the parcel, Ayush reportedly confirmed receipt via messages, leveraging the victim's trust and goodwill, ultimately leading to a significant financial loss for the student.

This incident raises concerns about online relationships and the danger of sharing sensitive financial information with acquaintances met through digital platforms. Law enforcement is now involved, as the student seeks to recover his lost funds and possibly apprehend the suspect responsible for this elaborate scheme. The case highlights the need for awareness and safety in online interactions to prevent such occurrences in the future.
