What seemed like a warm wedding invitation turned into a costly cyber fraud for a government employee from Maharashtra's Hingoli district. The victim reportedly lost nearly Rs 2 lakh after falling prey to a malicious link disguised as a wedding invitation on WhatsApp.
According to reports, the employee received a WhatsApp message from an unknown number, inviting them to a wedding scheduled for August 30, 2025. The message, written in a friendly tone, read:
"Welcome. Shadi mein zarur aye (Do come to the wedding). 30/08/2025. Love is the master key that opens the gate of happiness."
