How do fraudsters robe money from innocent by phone calls?

            On 30th October, a septuagenarian, Sri Jayram Reddy from Hyderabad was taking his nap after eating his day meal, his phone was lying beside his pillow. The gentleman was a retired employee of Coal India limited (CIL). He was retired twelve years ago, he was not so much tech savvy but learnt the use of cell phone. He used to talk with his friends and relatives. He was fine and happy with his retire life. Whatever money he got from provident fund, he deposited in superannuation fund. He got the pension from the monthly income scheme. Everything was peaceful. But he did not bother about tricks of mundane world recently developed on basis duping and cheating in the the electronic world. As usual he was taking rest in the daylight. 

Parcel Scam Calls

          Suddenly his phone was ringing. He wake up from his drowsiness, tried to find the caller name but couldn't find the sender name in the phone screen. He then thought someone of his well known might call him. He was living alone his soulmate left him five years ago. He felt loneliness, as his only son, Lalit Reddy residing abroad with his family. He did not go with them as he would like to live in his native place. He was cared by a widow maiden. When the handset rings he feels happy thinking his son or grandson calling him. Eagerly he received the call hoping some pleasant talking. He was confused by the message as he received. The man on the other end of the call told, "I am Rajendra Singh from Delhi Police speaking, Your Parcel bound to America is seized by Delhi custom office. You are allegedly sending some illegal items. FIR is going to place against you and soon you will be arrested." Telling this the stranger cut his call. The old man puzzled with the message. He deeply though about such parcel. On the Baisakhi he sent a parcel to his grandson living in Canada. But it contained only Haldiram Laddu (Sweet Boll). It is already received. How! the claim is possible. He was in dilemma. After one hour the phone was ringing again. He was afraid of the message, "FIR against you is placed and will be sentenced to stay in jail at least five year or you can pay fine of Rupees Five Lac instead. If you choose to pay fine sent your fine to our bank account". The old man was so worried and transferred his fund." As it was monthly income scheme deposit, so while he ordered for his money transfer, an authentication by bank manager was needed. Bank manager was suspicious of the fund transfer, he held the transaction. Further inspection manager revealed it was an Swiss Bank Account of the international cyber scammer. Bank manager immediately complained to Hyderabad Police who came soon to the door of the victim. Meanwhile the call was cut. He informed the whole matter to police. By chance the old man was saved from bankruptcy.
