In a report to the government, I4C, the cyber wing of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), said that scammers have stolen around ₹2,140 crore from 'cyber arrest' victims in the country within the first 10 months of the year, officials said on Friday.
Noting that on an average over ₹214 crore was lost every month, the I4C report revealed that the scammers impersonated as officials from top Indian agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Police, and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to dupe people into transferring money to their overseas accounts.
