Cyber crooks using fake advertisement for a superstore duped a 75-year-old victim of Rs 1,09,610.
The victim, a resident of Habsiguda, in his complaint with the cybercrime police stated that he came across an advertisement on Facebook and ordered groceries worth Rs 298 and entered his contact details.
On November
24, at 4.30 pm, the victim received a call from an unknown person who claimed that the offer was confirmed and sent an APK file through WhatsApp, police said.
After installing the file and entering his credit card details to make the Rs 298 payment, the victim’s phone went out of his control and OTPs started appearing.
