I think my dad got scammed out of ₹100000 because of a system update.
I don't know every detail right now, but I received a WhatsApp message from my dad from someone else's number saying his phone is on system update for a long time & he fears maybe the phone is damaged somehow. I tell him to relax and let the phone do its thing
Got a callback from my dad just now that this was a hacking attempt (idk how it initiated, will investigate further when he gets home), and ₹100000 was deducted from his current account.
He is on his way to the cybercrime branch to register a complaint.
Need some help and advice on what to do in such a scenario
