New Delhi: There’s a new scam that fraudsters have come up with recently – the ‘Boss Scam’. ADVERTISEMENTThere have been a significant rise in complaints received through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP). The modus operandi of scamsters is to compromise WhatsApp accounts and orchestrate high-value financial fraud. In the final stage of the fraud, hackers exploit the genuine WhatsApp account of a senior executive or manipulate contact details to impersonate a company’s CEO. The Home ministry appealed to citizens to promptly act on such alerts and report suspected cyber fraud by calling the National Cyber Crime Helpline (1930) or through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
