The alertness of State Bank of India (SBI) staff, Clock Tower branch in Mahabubnagar, helped a victim of a ‘digital arrest’ scam from losing money.
In a digital arrest scam, fraudsters target individuals or
businesses, posing as law enforcement or government officials.
The customer visited the branch and requested a transfer of Rs 4.2 lakh via the real-time gross settlement (RTGS) method while he was reportedly on a WhatsApp video call.
