75-year-old retired professor duped of Rs 3.57 crore in Kolhapur
Representative Image KOLHAPUR: A 75-year-old retired professor from Shivaji University Kolhapur was forced by cybercrooks to make money transfers totaling Rs3.57 crore in 14 transactions between April 21 and May 16 in the biggest cyber fraud so far to hit Kolhapur city. The victim retired from service in 2013 while her husband retired in 2005. Their daughter, a physiotherapist, stays in her marital home at Tarabai Park. The crooks posed a Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and Mumbai police officials while calling and informing her that the Colaba police have registered a case in which Rs 6 crore of proceeds from a money laundering and investment fraud by a prominent aviation firm owner, have been deposited to an account in her name and using her Aadhaar card at a nationalized bank in Mahim. The callers threatened that she will face action and arrest if she did not cooperate with their verification process and sought all her bank details. Through video calls made from various WhatsApp numbers, the crooks pressurized her into making the money transfers to various accounts _ mostly private banks. The elderly woman used up all the money in three bank accounts held by her, another three accounts held jointly with her husband and four accounts held by her husband, to make the 14 transfers of amounts varying from Rs 60 lakh to Rs 7 lakh, police said.
