While fans of the Netflix series Money Heist are waiting for the show’s fifth season, the Spanish crime drama’s reference was used by Mumbai Police to communicate a witty advisory against financial frauds. Mumbai Police’s Twitter handle, known for putting out entertaining posts while also conveying the seriousness of the message, shared a scene from Money Heist on Wednesday, May 26.
The scene from the very first episode shows one of the lead characters, Denver, asking a hostage, Arturo, about his banking pin. Arturo replies ‘1234’ which makes Denver and his colleague burst into laughter.
Mumbai Police tweeted the clip and jibed that Arturo thinks he is very smart and keeps 1234 as his pin. Advising people to keep a stronger banking password, they asked people not to be like Arturo.
