A 59-year-old man from Hyderabad ended up losing ₹10 lakh to parcel scam. The Cyber Crimes police of Hyderabad booked a case on Wednesday.
Officials said the man received a call from a ‘FedEx courier’ in Mumbai stating there was a consignment in his name containing 450 gm of MDMA, a laptop, five expired passports, seven debit cards and 5 kg of toys.
“He was made to talk to the ‘Andheri police’ of Mumbai and then patched to a woman officer from the Mumbai ‘Narcotics Control Bureau’. She coerced the victim to verify his bank balance by sending ₹10 lakh to them,” added the officials.
Realising he was conned, the man approached the cyber crime police and a case was booked.
