Barnala News: Cyber Fraudster Targets Daily Wage Worker, Empties Account After Asking for Two Rupees: A network of cybercrime has now started trapping daily wage workers as well. A cyber fraudster targeted a daily wage worker and emptied his bank account.
Victim Dharminder Singh stated that he had visited a post office to send some documents to his village. However, the post was stuck in Ludhiana for the past four to five days. When he approached the post office regarding this matter, they informed him that they would file a complaint on his behalf.
The next day, around 2 p.m., he received a phone call. The caller said that his post was stuck in Ludhiana because it had been deactivated, and it needed to be reactivated. For this, he was asked to send two rupees. The fraudster assured him that once the profile was activated, his post would be delivered to his village soon.

After this, the fraudster sent him a link and instructed him to fill it out, enter his PIN, and send two rupees. When the victim filled in the details and sent the two rupees through the link, 3,400 rupees were immediately withdrawn from his account.
When he tried to contact the fraudster again, the person stopped answering his calls and later blocked him.
The victim said that he survives on daily wages and had saved 3,400 rupees with much difficulty. But the cyber fraudster cheated him of his hard-earned money. He appealed to the police administration to take legal action against the accused person.
It is unclear whether the officials at the post office were also involved in the fraud.
