Doctor’s Daughter Loses Rs 80 Lakh in Cyber Fraud in Patna, Fraudsters Used Names of Mittal and Elon Musk

A resident of Patna, India, has reported losing approximately 80 lakh rupees (around $96,000 USD) to cyber fraudsters. The victim, identified as the daughter of a local doctor, appears to have been targeted by criminals who allegedly impersonated individuals and organizations.

The incident highlights the increasing sophistication of online scams and the diverse tactics employed by perpetrators. The involvement of names associated with prominent figures like Elon Musk, even if falsely invoked, suggests fraudsters are leveraging high-profile individuals to lend credibility or urgency to their schemes, making victims more susceptible to deception.
