Cybercrooks taking advantage of COVID crisis
The Hindu
Man duped of ₹40,000 in the name of an ICU bed
Taking advantage of the worsening COVID-19 situation, cybercrooks are defrauding people of their hard-earned money by promising them help with securing Remdesivir, hospital beds, oxygen and plasma. In a recent case, a person lost ₹40,000 to a cybercrook who asked for money to arrange an ICU bed at a private hospital and after taking the money in advance, switched off his phone. Many arrests have been made over black marketing of COVID-19 essentials, and yet no arrests have been made against cybercrooks in this regard as no complaints have been made so far.
