New Delhi: These days the trend of cyber crime incidents has increased again in the country. Hundreds of such news are coming every day in which people are losing their hard-earned money to cyber criminals. It is not that only uneducated or less educated people are losing their earnings, well-educated people are becoming victims of cyber criminals. This means that no person, regardless of his education or occupation, is safe from digital fraud.
A retired engineer in Delhi became a victim of cyber fraud and lost Rs 10 crore. Despite being an engineer, the cyber criminals managed to digitally arrest the man for eight hours and in the process wasted his life savings. His family was well educated and lived abroad. But he too could not escape this cyber crime.
Cyber criminals are also targeting highly educated and professional people. This incident makes it clear that even the most educated people are at risk of becoming victims of cyber crime. Many people still operate under the misconception that cyber scammers primarily target uneducated or ignorant individuals in rural areas. Cyber criminals are now targeting even highly educated and professional people by taking advantage of their trust and weaknesses.
Retired engineer suffers loss of Rs 10 crore in Delhi
The story of the retired engineer, whose name is unknown, is a fascinating example of how stalkers deceive their victims. An engineer living in Delhi had received a call from abroad, due to which he was defrauded of Rs 10 crore. Cyber thugs kept him in digital arrest for a few hours and said that he was involved in many crimes. After this, he himself transferred the money to the cyber fraudster’s account. It is significant that the engineer was not only well educated but also experienced in technical fields, which shows that no one is safe from this growing threat.
