FedEx parcel scam robs top executive of Rs 51 lakh via 10-hour 'digital arrest'
On September 17, around 9:50 am, the victim received a call from someone claiming to be from FedEx. Following the instructions, she spoke to a person named Ashwin Kumar from FedEx customer care. Kumar informed her that her Aadhaar details had been used to send a parcel with MDMA (a drug illegally manufactured) to Iran, which was intercepted by Mumbai police.
She was then connected to another person, Pradeep, claiming to be a senior inspector from Mumbai cybercrime department. The executive overheard someoe telling Pradeep her Aadhaar was linked to illegal activities in Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal, and Karnataka.
She was asked to join a Skype call with someone introducing themselves as DCP Milind Bharambe from Maharashtra, the victim told ToI. He claimed her Aadhaar had been used to open illegal accounts across India and around Rs 9.7 crore had been moved through these accounts. Bharambe mentioned these funds were connected to drug trafficking, money laundering, and funding sleeper cells.
«He said the account was used for drug trafficking, money laundering, and funding sleeper cells to purchase AK-47 rifles,» the victim said.
