A Click That Cost Lakhs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 25-year-old man from Jharkhand has been arrested for allegedly defrauding a judge of the Bombay High Court of \u20b96.02 lakh in a cyber scam. The accused, identified as Mazhar Alam Israil Miyan from Jamtara, is believed to be linked to at least 36 cyber fraud cases across 10 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The case began on the last day of February, when the judge attempted to redeem credit card reward points. Unable to reach the bank\u2019s official customer care due to busy lines, he searched online for assistance. Unfortunately, he came across a fraudulent number posing as legitimate support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scammer, impersonating a customer care executive, sent a link and instructed the judge to download an app. When the app failed to install on his iPhone, the caller advised switching to an Android device. Following these instructions, the judge inserted<\/a> his SIM card into his domestic help\u2019s Android phone and successfully downloaded the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments after entering his credit card details, approximately \u20b96.02 lakh was instantly withdrawn from his account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the Cyber Fraud Playbook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realizing the fraud, the judge promptly filed a complaint with the Mumbai Police. The Mumbai Police, through the Cuffe Parade Police Station, launched an investigation and managed to track down and arrest the \u0906\u0930\u094b\u092a\u0940 within 10 days in Jharkhand, with assistance from local cyber units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities revealed that such scams follow a familiar pattern. Fraudsters upload fake customer care numbers online, targeting unsuspecting users searching for quick assistance. Once contact is made, victims are manipulated into downloading malicious apps or sharing sensitive financial details, leading to immediate financial loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case underscores how even experienced individuals can fall prey to increasingly sophisticated cyber tactics, especially when urgency and trust are exploited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world wired for convenience, caution remains the strongest firewall\u2014because not every helping hand online is real.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Jharkhand man was arrested for duping a Bombay High Court judge of \u20b96.02 lakh via a fake customer care scam. Posing as support staff, he tricked the victim into downloading an app and entering card details. Linked to 36 fraud cases, the \u0906\u0930\u094b\u092a\u0940 highlights rising cybercrime risks and the need for vigilance online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
