Advice regarding cyber fraud to a helpless uncle I know.
So I went to the bank today to withdraw some funds. There was an old man from our village complaining to the manager about money not being in his account. He is an auto driver and I know him through my relatives. So I asked him what happened.
So he says he got a call from an unknown number last night around 10. The caller sent a scanner and a picture with a kid in the hospital. And screenshots from gpay showing paid amount of 35000 to the uncle's account. He then told the uncle that he accidentally sent the money meant for the kid's blood treatment to the uncle. And wants it back. The uncle is not very educated so he didn't check the balance. That's what he told me. He paid it back. Then again he got a call of paying 55k(?) I'm confused about this part as well. So he paid 90k in total to the fraudster. The other guy contacted him through WhatsApp. I have offered to complain through the cyber website. Is there anything else I can do? Realistically what are the chances of getting it back?
Thank you so much. And please help me out so I can help him. He looked so lost and sad.
