Cyber fraud attempt at Rainbow hospitals thwarted by alert staff
Hyderabad: A cyber fraud attempt targeting Rainbow Children's Medicare Limited (RCML) was successfully thwarted on Thursday after the company's chief financial officer detected suspicious WhatsApp communications claiming to be from the organisation's chairman Dr Ramesh Kancharla. The scamsters had used a new number with Dr Ramesh's display picture (DP) to instruct the hospital to transfer Rs 20 lakh, and provided a bank account of an electronics company with IndusInd Bank's Kishoreganj branch in Ranchi. CFO Vikas Maheshwari received the first message at 9:54 am. When he was told to make immediate payment, the CFO tried to call the number at 1:17 pm. Instead of answering the call, the fraudster messaged: "I am currently in a meeting with govt officials and it's not convenient to talk." "The tone of the message was suspicious. I verified with Dr Ramesh and was told that this message was not sent by him," the CFO said in his complaint to the police. A case was registered under Section 319(2) (cheating by impersonation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 66C and 66D of the IT Act against unknown offender on Wednesday.
