										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="251" data-end="534">A 54-year-old resident of J.P. Nagar in Mysuru has lost ₹1.77 crore in an online trading fraud. The scam was executed through a fake trading application, Mysuru City Police said. The victim was lured through a WhatsApp group claiming links to a U.S.-based investment management firm.</p>
<p data-start="536" data-end="815">Police said the victim transferred money through RTGS to several bank accounts by December 20, 2025. The accounts were linked to local companies. The funds appeared as “Top Up Capital” in the trading app. The app displayed unusually high profits, which built trust in the scheme.</p>
<p data-start="817" data-end="1047">When the victim attempted to withdraw the money, fraudsters demanded capital gains tax payments. The tax amount was asked to be sent to private bank accounts. At this stage, the victim realised the fraud and approached the police.</p>
<p data-start="1049" data-end="1443">Investigators said the WhatsApp group promised share market training and extraordinary returns. Members were later introduced to a woman named Meera, posing as a company representative. Police warned citizens against fake investment offers on social media. People were advised to verify financial services through official channels. Cyber frauds should be reported to 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in<a href="http://www.com">.</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="278" data-end="618">Hyderabad Police Commissioner <strong data-start="308" data-end="331">C.V. Anand Sajjanar</strong> warned citizens about a new cyber fraud linked to unclaimed bank deposits. He said scammers are misusing the RBI’s <strong data-start="447" data-end="463">UDGAM portal</strong>, which helps people trace unclaimed deposits. Moreover, he explained that fraudsters are sending fake messages to lure people into clicking harmful links.</p>
<p data-start="620" data-end="937">Sajjanar stated that many citizens receive messages that look like they are from the RBI or a bank. These messages claim to help recover unclaimed deposits. However, once people click the link, scammers steal bank details and drain their accounts. He urged people to stay alert and avoid any unofficial communication.</p>
<p data-start="939" data-end="1260">The commissioner clarified that the <strong data-start="975" data-end="1031">only official UDGAM link is <a class="decorated-link" href="https://udgam.rbi.org.in" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="1005" data-end="1029">https://udgam.rbi.org.in</a></strong>. He stressed that no other link should be opened. He reminded the public that the RBI never asks for OTPs or passwords. Therefore, people must avoid sharing sensitive information with anyone, even if the message appears genuine<a href="http://www.com">.</a></p>
<p data-start="1262" data-end="1564">Sajjanar appealed to citizens to contact their bank directly if they receive suspicious messages. He added that victims should act fast. People can call <strong data-start="1415" data-end="1423">1930</strong> or file a complaint on <strong data-start="1447" data-end="1468">cybercrime.gov.in</strong> to report fraud attempts.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="365" data-end="737">Cybercriminals continue to expand their deceptive tactics across Telangana. They lure people with promises of easy money and trap unsuspecting victims. Recently, hackers targeted the WhatsApp number of Manikonda Vedakumar, Chairman of the Forum for Better Hyderabad and Telangana Resource Centre. They contacted his saved numbers and claimed that he urgently needed money.</p>
<p data-start="739" data-end="1096">The fraudsters sent messages saying his usual UPI number was not working. They asked people to transfer ₹60,000 through Google Pay or PhonePe to the number <strong data-start="895" data-end="909">6202756958</strong>. However, one alert individual quickly sensed the scam. He took a screenshot and circulated it among others, which helped warn many people. This timely action prevented financial losses.</p>
<p data-start="1098" data-end="1411">Cyber gangs have already created fear with OTP scams and fake digital arrest threats. Now, they are targeting WhatsApp accounts of officials and political leaders. Moreover, their methods are becoming more advanced and unpredictable. Experts say people must verify any emergency payment request before responding<a href="https://www.indiapodcast.com/bjp-slams-mamata-banerjee-after-ec-flags-serious-security-breach-at-bengal-ceos-officehttps-www-indiapodcast-com-p32014previewtrue/">.</a></p>
<p data-start="1413" data-end="1710">In recent weeks, several media WhatsApp groups linked to Telangana cabinet ministers faced similar hacking attempts. Therefore, cybersecurity teams urged the public to stay alert and report suspicious messages immediately. Awareness remains the strongest defence against these rising cyber crimes<a href="http://www.com">.</a></p>
