Meera, the owner of a growing online store, receives what appears to be a legitimate overpayment from a customer. Moments later, a polite request arrives asking for the excess amount to be refunded urgently. Trusting the transaction confirmation displayed on her dashboard, she returns the money without hesitation. The next morning, she discovers a chilling truth—the original payment never actually settled. As investigators uncover a sophisticated fraud network exploiting payment processing delays and human psychology, Meera becomes the key witness in a cybercrime case that exposes one of the most dangerous forms of modern fraud: convincing victims to surrender their money willingly.
