A 70 -year -old woman from the central bombai lost about 1.15 GBP Crore on Cyber Scamsters who presented themselves as income tax officials for more than six years, the police said on Wednesday (July 2, 2025).
The incident came out on Monday (July 1) after Septuagenarian, the worli resident, filed a complaint with Dadar Police.
For the first time, the victim received a call in May 2019 from a woman who claimed to be an IT official and told her that the department wanted to return the money of her late husband, the police said.
The complainant was asked to clarify the “waiting” taxes, and various sanctions increased against the name of her husband to get back their money, the official said.
The woman believed that the callers began to store the money on the accounts provided by fraudsters, he said.
Within six years, the complainant fired over 1.15 GBP Crore in 50 transactions, but never received any money from the “IT department”, he said.
The woman recently shared an episode with her relatives who told her she was captured by cyber criminals and urged her to approach the police.
On the basis of her complaint, the Dadar police registered the case against unidentified fraudsters and launched a probe, the official added.
