A sudden surge in cyber fraud cases has been witnessed in Navi Mumbai. The usual modus operandi of calling to update the Know Your Customer (KYC) information of mobile wallets and purchasing items online has been used to siphon off lakhs of money in the past one week. The commissioner of Navi Mumbai warned citizens regarding the same and urged them to be cautious.

Sanjay Kumar, the commissioner of Navi Mumbai Police, took to Twitter to alert citizens. He tweeted: "Cyber fraudsters are active again with their time tested OLX or Paytm update. I just want to reiterate, you don't have to download any app on the instructions of unknown people or share your OTP with them. You are only required to send OTP or code when buying online. The targets this time include a 21-year-old and a 65-year-old."
