Cyber Fraud Attempt Targeting Pensioner in Bhopal

Cyber Fraud Attempt Targeting Pensioner in Bhopal

Imagine someone pretending to be a government worker who handles pensions.

This fake worker called an older gentleman, Rajendra, who receives a pension.

The fake worker said Rajendra's pension card needed updating and that he would get extra money soon.

To make it seem real, the caller used a fake government picture on his phone.

He even knew Rajendra's sister's name!

But when the fake worker asked for Rajendra's bank account number and a secret code (OTP), Rajendra got suspicious.

He didn't give the information, and the caller disappeared.

Now, the police are investigating because they think these bad guys might have secret information about many pensioners.
