A woman from southwest Delhi reportedly lost ₹90,000 after downloading an application that promised a ‘buy one thali, get another free’ offer. The victim, Savita Sharma, is a senior executive at a bank. She registered a complaint at the cyber police station and stated that one of her relatives informed her about the offer on Facebook. She visited the site on November 27, 2022, and made a call on the given number to make an inquiry about the deal. However, she did not receive any response but received a callback. The caller asked her to download an application to avail of the offer and sent her a user ID and password to access the app. After entering the user ID and password, she lost control of her phone and received a message that ₹40,000 was debited from her account. A few seconds later, she received another message that ₹50,000 was withdrawn from her account. The cyber police are investigating the matter, and similar cases of fraud have been reported from other cities where people lost thousands of rupees.
