Cyber criminals are becoming bolder and more brazen, stepping out of their criminal comfort zones to lure people into their traps and divest them of their money.

In fact, so audacious have the cons become, that they are impersonating even top police officers, supposedly secure in the anonymity that the Internet gives them. Cyber criminals created a fake social media account in the name of Mumbai-based senior IPS officer Vishwas Nangare Patil. Currently, Nangare Patil is posted as the Additional Director General of Police (ADG) of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Mumbai. In reports Patil cautioned people that fraudsters created a fake Facebook account in his name. They are chatting with people through this account. Legal action is being taken, however, do not reply to messages sent from this fake account, you may be cheated.
