Cyber Fraud Alert: e-SIM Users Beware
A Mumbai doctor was duped of ₹10.5 lakh by cyber fraudsters using a fake e-SIM scam.
The scammer called the doctor, claiming that their physical SIM would be deactivated and an e-SIM would be activated within 24 hours.
The cyber fraudsters withdrew ₹10.5 lakh from the doctor's account after the victim fell for the scam.
The doctor filed a complaint with the Mumbai Police's cyber cell, leading to the arrest of an office boy from a Pune hospital who rented out his bank account for transferring the stolen money.
According to the police, this is an 'e-SIM upgrade scam', which has become increasingly prevalent.
