Police engaged in investigation
Police are now trying to find out which network the accused are a part of, how they misused WhatsApp profiles and identities and to which accounts the money was sent. Officials believe that such frauds often involve the use of fake documents, fake bank accounts and multiple levels of money transfer. Experts have advised people to verify the identity of the person through phone or video call before any financial transaction. In case of cyber crime, immediately registering a complaint on the National Helpline 1930 or Cyber Crime Portal increases the chances of getting the money back.
