How a Mumbai woman lost Rs 3.37 lakh after Tinder friendship with man who claimed to be living abroad
As the story unfolded, Advait claimed he was abroad and intended to visit Mumbai on September 16. On that day, the woman received a shocking call from someone purporting to be a Delhi customs official. The caller informed her that Advait had been detained at the airport with a large sum of Euros, as per PTI.
In a moment of panic, she was told that in order to secure Advait's release, she needed to pay Rs 3.37 lakh via UPI. Following the caller's instructions, she transferred the money. However, the fraudster later demanded an additional Rs4.99 lakh for further expenses.
While attempting to transfer this second amount at her bank, a vigilant bank official sensed something was amiss. The staff member questioned her about the transaction and quickly alerted her to the potential fraud. Thanks to their timely intervention, she was spared from losing more money.
The police have since registered a case of cheating at the Versova police station against unidentified individuals, and investigations are ongoing.
