How the Scammer Got Exposed

The scammer has made a critical mistake by video-calling a Thrissur City Cyber Cell officer as if he is speaking to an unsuspecting victim. Through the call, the scammer introduced himself as a Mumbai police officer. The real policeman kept his camera off and calmly replied to all of the scammer's questions in order to gather more information. Things took a turn for worse when the scammer asked the officer to switch on his camera. As soon as the Thrissur officer revealed his identity, the scammer visibly reeled in and panicked at realizing how grave his error was.
