A 32-year-old man from Sakinaka becomes the latest victim of cyber fraud when the fraudsters duped him of Rs 39 lakh on the pretext of claiming his life insurance policy. Initially, the victim was asked to deposit smaller amounts, however, they later increased both the purported insurance policy claim and the charges and continued to dupe him for over three months.
According to the police, it all began at the beginning of May month when the victim worked with a garment company as a supervisor. He received a call from one Jaylaxmi who introduced herself as a representative of a life insurance company. She claimed that the Sakinaka resident is holding a life insurance policy of Rs 1.19 lakh and its premium for the years 2019 and 2020 has been pending. If not paid in the next two days, the policy could get lapsed, and demand his credentials including photographs of his PAN card, Aadhaar card, and cheque in order to receive the policy claim.
