Only screenshots, not payments: Manesar businessman loses Rs 2.8L in online fraud
Gurgaon: A Manesar-based garment trader lost Rs 2.8 lakh to a fraudulent customer who placed multiple online orders since Jan. Jitender, who runs a shop in Pataudi and maintains an online shopping presence, was cheated by a woman who placed multiple orders. To appear legitimate, the fraudster gained the shopkeeper's trust by sharing screenshots of alleged payments for her purchases. It was only later that Jitender discovered no money had been transferred to his account, prompting him to file a formal complaint with the cyber police station. "I received a call from a lady from in Jan. She identified herself as Kajal Choudhary of Faridabad. She told me that she was interested in buying clothes from my shop as seen on our social media page and asked me to deliver the clothes to her in Faridabad in lieu of the online payments. After she started ordering suits and lehngas, I delivered those to the given address in Ballabhgarh, Faridabad, through porters. She used to send me screenshots of the online payment to my number. Since I was busy at the shop, I never checked the authenticity of the screenshots," the victim told police. After sending her clothes worth Rs 2.75 lakh, Jitender discovered that no money was transferred to his bank account by the lady and that the screenshots were fake. He lodged a formal complaint with the Cyber Manesar police. Meanwhile, cyber police have nabbed a suspect under section 318(4) of BNS and have started the investigation.
