An elderly man lost Rs 11.22 Lakh to online fraud

An elderly person from Pune wanted to transfer money. He was not able to do it and the UPI application showed the server down message.

The person who picked up the call sent him an SMS and asked to download the link in the SMS. After downloading the link, the victim was asked to share the number which was generated.
