Hong Kong woman loses nearly ₹3 crore in money laundering scam

A 66-year-old Hong Kong woman lost HK$2.7 million (nearly ₹3 crore) after fraudsters posing as officials told her that her bank account was linked to money laundering. They pressured her into transferring HK$2 million, followed by another HK$700,000, to accounts they controlled. She later reported the fraud to police, who registered a deception case. No arrests have been reported so far.
