In a sad event, a 33-year-old lady from Navi Mumbai was tricked out of Rs 17 lakh through an online job trick. Some unknown people contacted her on the Telegram app and told her about a job. They promised her a lot of money if she did some work on a website. The lady believed them and decided to do this online job. But things didn’t go as she hoped, and she ended up losing a lot of money. This happened in the Kamothe area of Navi Mumbai, and she reported it to the cyber police.
The Tempting Online Job Offer
This lady’s problem started when two strangers got in touch with her through the Telegram app. They offered her a job where she had to review things online. They said she could earn a lot of money doing this. She thought it was a great opportunity and agreed to do the job.
Tricked and Lost Rs 17 Lakh
She trusted these two people and gave them a lot of money – Rs 17,00,629 to be exact. She thought she would get back even more money once she finished the job because that’s what they promised her.
Empty Promises and Avoiding Her
But when she finished the work and asked for her money, these two people didn’t keep their promise. They gave her excuses and then stopped talking to her altogether.
Realizing she had been cheated, she decided to get help. She went to the cyber police station in Navi Mumbai and told them what had happened.
The police acted quickly. They have started a case against these two unknown people. They are being charged with cheating and other crimes according to the law.
This is a sad story that shows how tricky the online world can be. It’s important to be very careful when something seems too good to be true online. The lady did the right thing by reporting this to the police, and we hope the people who cheated her will be caught and punished. It’s a lesson for all of us to be cautious when dealing with online offers that promise big rewards.
