Udupi : A home maker in Shirva in Udupi district fell victim to a cyber scam and lost Rs. 1.47 lakh over a period of a week last week. She was duped by a cyber fraudster luring her to get an online job.
Bhagyashree, a 30-year-old homemaker residing in Shirva, reported the incident to the Udupi CEN police. In her complaint, she revealed that she lost her money gradually.
It all began when she received an unexpected call from an unfamiliar number. Subsequently, an application was sent to her mobile device via the Telegram app, instructing her to complete it for a part-time job opportunity.
