The procedure of the Attack

In this fraud, you get a computer-generated voice call or a normal call.
You are told that your parcel which was going has been canceled.
For more information talk to our customer care executive.
As soon as the call is connected, they tell you that there was illegal stuff in your luggage, or you were carrying some luggage that has an Aadhaar & SIM card in your name.
If you feel that your Aadhaar or SIM card has been misused then file an FIR immediately otherwise you will be sent to jail, then keep giving your evidence from there.
The victim feels that he should lodge an FIR then & there.
The customer care officer in front says –

This is a matter of high security,

keep everything confidential,
Do not share it with anyone and
You are made to download the video calling app Skype.

Fake policemen are sitting in front.
They start writing your FIR.
As soon as you narrate your incident, how your Aadhaar or SIM card has been misused, give your name and address, then a voice starts coming from the background from the fake police saying – his (your) name has also come up in a money laundering incident.
The fake policeman says – You have to stay on the line because your name has come up in our case & you will remain in front of the camera until the investigation is completed. To verify money laundering, you will have to show your account details and bank balance.
As soon as the victim shows how much balance is there in his account, the fake police say – You will have to transfer the money to our (their) secure (fake) RBI account. The money will be returned to you after verifying the source of that money.
The victim gets flinched & sends the money, which goes to the cyber criminal’s account and not to the RBI.
The fraudsters say – Our (their) RBI details show that you have several accounts at various places, you also have a trading account, so send that money also to our (their) RBI wallet as soon as possible.
Then, crores of rupees are extorted from you by threatening you with similar threats. After losing all the money, the person (you) realizes that he has been cyber cheated.
