In a distressing case of cyber fraud, a 62-year-old man from Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, has lost ₹64 lakh (approximately $77,000 USD) over four years to scammers impersonating officials from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDA). His ordeal began in January 2022 when he received a WhatsApp call from someone claiming to be an IRDA official. The caller convinced him that he could recover matured funds from an old insurance policy, but only if he first purchased new policies from private insurers. Over the next two years, another fraudster, posing as the director of the Integrated Grievance Management System (IGMS), contacted him repeatedly, fabricating various charges such as “Agent Code Removal Fees” and “State Level Tax” to extract money. The victim made 32 transactions totaling ₹64 lakh from his and his brother's bank accounts. The situation escalated when he was persuaded to open new bank accounts and send the ATM cards to addresses in Indrapuram, Ghaziabad. The victim realized he had been scammed only after receiving a legal notice from the Yashwanthapur police station in Kerala, indicating that his accounts were being used for criminal activities. The Navi Mumbai Cyber Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on April 20 under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. They are currently tracking several mobile numbers and an email ID linked to the suspects.
