Bengaluru, Aug 27: A student, who was seeking a medical seat in Bengaluru, was allegedly duped of Rs. 9.4 lakh.

In his complaint to the police, Balaji S (18), who hails from Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, said that after he sought details for courses in Bengaluru on a social media platform, he was contacted by a man who identified himself as Rajkumar Iberwala.

The man assured the student that he could get a seat in a reputed medical college under the management quota and asked him to meet him in M G Road on Thursday.

He told Balaji to get copies of his certificates and Rs 9.4 lakh as initial payment. After a quick meeting, Rajkumar collected the documents and cash and told Balaji to meet him in the college the next day.

After waiting for hours at the college the next day, Balaji realised he had been duped. The Cubbon Park police have taken up a case.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
