Hyderabad man loses Rs. 1.9L in scam while seeking Godrej AC repair help
A 67-year-old retired man in Hyderabad lost Rs. 1,90,000 after falling victim to a cybercrime. He searched online for Godrej Air Conditioner customer care and was tricked by a fraudster posing as a representative. The fraudster instructed him to click a link and pay a small amount, which resulted in a large sum being debited from his account. Authorities have issued a warning against fake messages and APK files, particularly those claiming to be from banks. They advise against clicking on unknown links and downloading files from unverified sources. They also emphasize that banks never communicate through individual mobile numbers. Victims are urged to contact the cybercrime helpline for assistance.02:36 PM Mar 12, 2025 IST
