It is not just raining, literally, but raining scams, too. After a rash of cybercrimes where the police have repeatedly warned about an uptick in online scamsters comes the news that the Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar (MBVV) crime branch arrested two men for allegedly conning people at ATM kiosks by offering help in withdrawing cash from the machines.

The police recovered 34 ATM cards and a bike that had been used in the crime. The modus operandi of the accused had been to keep cards of different banks with them and zero in on a crowded ATM kiosk. Identifying their target and getting inside the ATM along with the victim, pretending to withdraw money.
