The netizens were treated to a true story of instant karma & sweet revenge after the scammer, who intended on extorting money via fake digital arrest, had his own location traced instead.
It was a routine scam call initiated by the scammer impersonating a senior police officer; only the call accidentally landed at Thrissur Cyber Cell. In the video of the interaction, which has gone viral on social media, the scammer got the shock of his life when his potential victim turned out to be a real cop.
The scammer initially attempted an extortionist approach, while sticking to the usual playbook of intimidation and threats. However, the real officer on the other end, realized well in time, the shady nature of the call and played along.
The scammer probably stuck to his script, introduced himself via video call and continued to pressurize the real cop for money. The Thrissur police officer, meanwhile, initially kept his camera off and continued to engage the scammer into a conversation while playing the potential gullible victim.
