The Hyderabad city cyber crime unit refunded Rs.35 lakh to the victims in two cases. A complaint was received from a 28-year-old woman from Hyderabad stating fraudsters deceived her by falsely implicating her in illegal activities and money laundering.
The fraudsters convinced her to transfer Rs.1 lakh to bank accounts provided by them. Realizing that the fraudsters duped her, she approached the police who took proactive steps, including sending notices to the bank officials and following up to freeze the fraudulent amount. They also guided the complainant in filing a petition in court for refund of funds held in the fraudulent accounts.
