Mangaluru: A person here lost more than Rs 18 lakhs to cyber criminals who lured him by promising to make good money through digital marketing.
The victim said he received a message on WhatsApp on December 14, 2022, from an unknown number advertising to help others make money through digital marketing. He registered into a Telegram Group through a link sent in the message. He was directed to open an account on a website through a link.
On December 18, the victim transferred Rs 9,000 which was reflected in the account created on the website. This money was easily retrieved.
