A 48-year-old Dadar woman, attempting to book a doctor’s appointment at a hospital, fell prey to cyber fraudsters, losing nearly R1.92 lakh. The woman had googled the number of the hospital to get an appointment. The person on the line, claiming to be a hospital official, defrauded her of her money by providing her a scam link to make the payment through. The Dadar police have booked unknown people in the case.

When she googled the number, she was directed to a fake website and a process followed, after which there was a link given. Then, she was told to swipe a small amount for registration, where the link seemed not to work, but in a few hours, money was gone from her accounts.
