A few days ago, one of my friends, working in a reputed organisation and earning a good salary, received a WhatsApp message offering a job opportunity to earn Rs3,000 per day just by clicking ratings on Google Maps to increase the client s business reputation. This is just one example of the messages sent out by fraudsters and cybercriminals to lure and then dupe gullible people.
According to the FIR accessed by IANS, the man was trying to recover Rs 100 from Uber by calling up customer care he found by searching on Google and fell prey to online scam.
