MARGAO: A woman was allegedly cheated of approximately Rs 2 lakh by unidentified cyber fraudsters who posed as officials of the Delhi Police and representatives of Google Chrome.
According to the complaint lodged with police, the unknown accused persons impersonated themselves as law enforcement officials and company representatives and criminally intimidated the complainant by falsely claiming that an FIR and arrest warrant would be issued against her unless she paid the demanded amount.
Believing the threats to be genuine and acting under fear and inducement created by the accused, the complainant allegedly transferred around Rs 2,00,000 through multiple online transactions to various bank accounts and UPI IDs provided by the fraudsters.
Police said the accused persons dishonestly cheated the complainant, causing wrongful loss to her and corresponding wrongful gain to themselves.
Further investigation into the cyber fraud case is in progress.
