A digital wallet fraud has cost 1.5 million users their money, including a teacher who lost her savings.

The latest investigation has uncovered a digital wallet scam that has siphoned funds from 1.5 million users across India. The scheme, which operated under the guise of a popular mobile payment app, allegedly redirected deposits to accounts controlled by the operators. One of the victims is a school teacher who reported losing her entire savings after a series of unauthorized withdrawals. Authorities have launched a probe and are coordinating with the Reserve Bank of India to trace the missing funds. Users are advised to check their transaction histories and report any suspicious activity to the app’s customer support and the cybercrime cell.
