Viral Video: Scammer posing as Mumbai Police calls real cop by mistake, gets a shocking surprise on Zoom
Thrissur police is investigating a scammer who accidentally called a police officer, posing as a cop from Mumbai. The scammer claimed the recipient was involved in a major cybercrime, with their Aadhaar number linked to illegal activities on the «dark net.»
The Clever Move by the Sub-Inspector
The scammer warned the receiver that they were «virtually arrested.» Unbeknownst to the fraudster, the person on the other end was sub-inspector Feesto T D from the Thrissur cyber cell. Without revealing his identity, Feesto played along, keeping the caller engaged to gather evidence.
The scammer instructed Feesto to install the Zoom app for further interaction. Pretending his camera wasn’t working, the SI avoided showing his face while recording the caller, who was dressed in a police uniform.
The Scammer's Shock
During the call, the scammer asked Feesto what he was doing. At that moment, the SI turned on his webcam, revealing himself in full police uniform. The scammer was visibly shocked and quickly ended the call when Feesto revealed he had already traced his location to West Bengal.
