Hyderabad: ‘Send Tk 1.5 crore to this account’, the account officer of a Hyderabad company received this directive in WhatsApp’s message. It looks like a very valid person has sent this message, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Cyber Crime. He asked the Accounts Officer to send this money (Hyderabad Company) for advance payment of a project. And after hearing that, the authorities sent Tk 1.5 crore to a specific account at the expense of free. And then the danger happens!
This message was not a legitimate person in any way. It seemed that the message came from the organization’s Managing Director WhatsApp account. There is also his picture in the display section. But in Adepe, it was an account of a fraud that made a fake profile like the managing director of the organization and asked the officer to send money and got the money and got the money. However, the Telangana Cyber Crime Department was reported to be wasting time after the incident was reported and the real managing director of the organization, the accounts officers and others of the organization were able to prevent this large -scale cyber fraud. The whole money can be returned.
The money was returned to the company’s account by 9pm yesterday. Shortly after the incident, a notification from the bank to the real managing director of the company went from the bank, then the whole incident became clear like water as soon as the account officer communicated. The Managing Director said he did not ask for any such thing to say about the WhatsApp message. The complaint was then filed at the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
The transaction was first confirmed by the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and its current status was tracked. But the whole money is possible to recover because fortunately the fraudsters did not withdraw the money in cash.
Last week, the fraudsters in Hyderabad looted Tk 5 crore from a woman and showed the temptation to invest in the stock market through various apps. Even the stars are not excluding such fraud. In December last year, the Cyber Crime Co-ordination Center was blocked by the fraud as it was associated with fraud.
