Gift Scam

A 57-year-old man who works as deputy general manager in a private company at Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) recently fell prey to the gift card fraud. The victim had received a WhatsApp communication from a person impersonating as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the victim's company.  The victim sent 10 codes worth ₹5000 each and later learnt that he had been duped by an imposter.
