In the latest case of digital arrest and online exploitation, a 26-year-old Borivli-based woman was forced to transfer Rs 1.78 lakh to a fraudster posing as a CBI officer from Delhi. The fraudster told the woman that he was carrying out an investigation into a money laundering case and also recorded a nude video of her, claiming that it was part of the body verification process. He then started to threaten to make the video viral on social media.
