Elderly Women Duped in Digital Arrest Scams

Elderly Women Duped in Digital Arrest Scams

Two elderly women were tricked by scammers who pretended to be police officers.

They told the women they were under digital arrest and forced them to transfer large amounts of money.

One woman in Indore gave away ₹29.7 lakh, and another woman in Delhi gave away ₹1.16 crore.

The police have arrested three people involved in the scam in Delhi.

They found that the money was sent to a fake bank account run by an NGO in Himachal Pradesh.

The police are still trying to recover all the stolen money and find more people involved in the scam.

This shows how important it is to be careful and verify any requests for money or personal information.
