One flipped letter in an e-mail ID is all it took for cyber fraudsters to cheat an Indian global pharmaceutical giant of R17.5 lakh. Posing as a customer, they asked the pharma company to divert the funds as payment for an order. An FIR was registered at Charkop police station on Tuesday, based on a complaint by an employee of ACG Pam Pharma Technologies Pvt Ltd, Shripad Vishnu Deshpande. The five-decade-old company is the second-largest manufacturer of empty hard capsules in the world. Its office is based in Kandivli.
