A bank manager lost Rs 5.10 lakh in an online cyber fraud while she was trying to sell a few of her household items in Nagpur.


The 31-year-old victim Smita Vishwas uploaded details of a refrigerator and sofa which she wanted to sell.


"As soon as she filled up the details, she got a call from a person who said he wanted to buy the items," the police official said.


"The accused asked her to send Rs 60 as an initial verification transaction. After she did so, he withdrew Rs 1.01 lakh from her account. In the name of refunding this amount, she again paid Rs 9,000 and the accused withdrew Rs 5.10 lakh in all," he said.

According to the police, a case was lodged under Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act provisions and efforts are on to nab the culprit.
