Cybercriminals, claiming to home deliver liquor, scam customers in Bengaluru – The Hindu
Bengaluru:
Pratishtha (name changed), a 29-year-old woman working in an IT company, complained to police that she lost 15,000 after she fell prey to an online liquor delivery fraud in October.
On a Google search for home delivery of liquor, she found the website of a well-known wine shop in central Bengaluru. She dialled a number given on the website. The person, who took the call, identified himself as the manager of the outlet, and confirmed that they do home delivery of liquor.
She then ordered a bottle of wine costing 1,500. The ‘manager’ told her that he would send her a QR code which she should scan to pay the amount. After scanning the code, she lost 15,000, and never got a reply from that number again.
The Karnataka Excise Act does not permit online sale or home delivery of liquor.
Many such cases
Police said there have been similar cases like her’s reported, especially impersonating shops in the Central Business District. Cybercriminals are using Google search options…
