In the last week alone, there were two cases where fraudsters posed as Army officers and targeted diagnostic labs and cheated their staff members on the pretext of making an advance payment for taking bulk appointments to their subordinates.
In the first instance, posing as an Army officer, a person cheated the staff of a diagnostic lab in R.T. Nagar and escaped with ₹1.05 lakh on the pretext of making an online payment.
Tanzeen Shahjahan, from R.T. Nagar, filed a complaint with the North Division Cyber Crime station on Tuesday, stating that a person approached her seeking details of a lab test for around 25 Army men.
