A 50-year-old homemaker in Bengaluru lost over ₹3 lakh to a cyber criminal who she came in contact with following an online search to fix a poor network problem in her mobile phone.
On June 22, the woman, a resident of Babusapalya, was unable to talk properly over the phone. Fed up with the network problem, she did a quick online search to find the customer care number of the service provider. The search result threw up a number. On calling the number, she came in contact with a man who claimed to be a customer care executive of a network provider.
