Fake Mumbai Cop Calls Real Police Officer—Their Face-Off Is Pure Gold!
India has seen a significant surge in cybercrimes in recent years, with scammers devising creative ways to dupe unsuspecting victims. However, in a humorous twist of fate in Kerala, a con artist pretending to be a police officer met his match when he unknowingly targeted a real cop. The Thrissur City Police shared the entertaining exchange on Instagram, captioning it, “The tiger who caught the tiger.”
The video begins with the scammer, dressed in a police uniform, introducing himself as a Mumbai police officer. The real Thrissur officer plays along initially, pointing out that the scammer’s camera seems to have issues. Moments later, the officer adjusts his own camera to reveal his full uniform and identity. Calmly, he asks the imposter, “What do you do?”
The unexpected confrontation leaves the scammer visibly stunned. As the reality dawns on him, he can only laugh nervously. The officer then delivers a stern warning: “Stop this immediately. I have your address, your location, and all your details. This is the Cyber Cell. It’s better for you to stop this work.”
