Paytm Vijay Shekhar Sharma dodges scam, but Navi Mumbai company falls for Rs 75 lakh cyber fraud
A police report indicated that a fake WhatsApp message, which pretended to be from the managing director of a farmers producer company in Navi Mumbai, led an employee in the accounts department to transfer Rs 75 lakh to cyber fraudsters. This online fraud, involving deception and impersonation, reportedly took place between May 18 and 19. Recently, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the founder and CEO of Paytm, shared a lighthearted story on X about an encounter with a scammer. The scammer impersonated him in an attempt to steal sensitive financial information from the company. Unfortunately, an employee from the Navi Mumbai firm fell victim to this scheme instead.
