Mumbai: Bank manager falls prey to power bill con, loses Rs 1.6 lakh

MUMBAI: A manager with the Saki Naka branch of a private bank is the latest to fall prey to cyber fraudsters who in the garb of pending power bill duped him of nearly Rs 1.6 lakh.

Saki Naka police, who registered the case on Monday, said the 47-year-old bank manager, who resides in Kalyan, first clicked on the genuine link and paid Rs 1,860 for the current month and then clicked on the fraudulent link to update the payment and got duped by cyber fraudsters. Police said the fraudster managed to convince the bank manager that the system did not get an update regarding the payment done and made him click on the link to update the payment.
