Another American Looted Of Crores By A Desi

The Indian community has managed to create a reputation for itself in all major walks of life globally. Unfortunately, it is not limited to just the good half of stuff. Scamming and phishing has evolved as a big market for many Indians who often pick their target from the United States. A woman from the US has fallen prey to one such scam which duped her off more than $400,000.

A US citizen has claimed that her laptop was allegedly hacked after which she received flash alerts on her screen. When she called on the number flashing on the screen, someone posing as a Microsoft employee told her that her bank account is at risk.

Then the person guided her to create a new crypto currency account and allegedly transferred all the money into this account. When the woman logged in to her account after a few weeks, it was found that all her money was gone.

She later filed a police complaint which was then forwarded to the Indian authorities. The CBI is investigating the case and has named 5 suspects. One has been arrested so far while the search is on for the others. Nigeria is ill-famous for exporting scams globally but if these incidents don’t stop, it can take a big hit on the reputation of the country.
