A shocking cyber fraud case has come to light in Mumbai’s Sion area, where a 22-year-old woman was allegedly cheated out of Rs 15.93 lakh by fraudsters posing as spiritual healers. The scam reportedly began in 2023 when the victim, a resident of Pratiksha Nagar, came across an Instagram post titled “Powerful Obsession Healer.”
The post promised solutions for career, relationship, and personal issues. After clicking the link, the woman was directed to WhatsApp, where she started communicating with a man who introduced himself as “Wahid” and “Sahil” at different times.
