In a shocking incident, a senior Infosys employee from Bengaluru fell prey to scamsters and lost Rs. 3.7 crore to miscreants who posed themselves as officials from Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Mumbai police. The victim registered a case in Whitefield police station on November 25, reported The Times of India.

According to the report, the victim received a phone call from an unknown person on November 21 and the caller told him that a case was registered against him for money laundering in Mumbai’s Vakola police station.
