Legal Executive Loses ₹90,500 in GPay Scam by Auto Driver
Imagine a person who needed to pay an auto driver using their phone.
Because they forgot their glasses, they asked the driver for help and gave them their phone and PIN.
The driver then used the phone to transfer a large sum of money, much more than was needed for the fare.
The person realized they were tricked a day later.
They reported it to the bank and the police.
The bank couldn't help, so the police are now investigating the driver to get the money back.
A legal executive lost ₹90,500 in a fraudulent GPay transaction.

The executive couldn't see clearly, forgot his spectacles.
The transaction took place on April 10, but the complaint was filed later.
