A 62-year-old man lost Rs 3.45 lakh while trying to order liquor online worth Rs 1,210 after a cyber-fraudster impersonated as an employee of a shop and asked him to make an advance payment.

An FIR was registered on November 3 at the Dahisar police station over the matter.

The senior citizen told the Dahisar police that he was a retired person and his only source of income was his pension. The man wanted to have liquor and searched on Google for shops that sold drinks online. It is then he came across “living liquidz” and called the shop to place an order.
