The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

An elderly woman living in Sarita Vihar, Delhi lost 78 lakh rupees to cybercriminals who kept her under 'digital arrest' for ten days.
The scam began on 24 August with a call from an unknown number claiming the woman was named in a money laundering case involving well-known people.
The fraudsters told the woman to keep her smartphone on and call the 'investigation officers' every hour while keeping the matter secret.
The woman transferred 27 lakh rupees on the callers' instructions before her daughter learned of the deductions through an email notification.
The fraud came to light after the woman's son-in-law visited her home, and police have registered a complaint and begun investigating.
