Fraudster Dupes Victim of Rs1,39,584

Hyderabad: A private employee from Secunderabad had enrolled in an online Investment Banking course at EDUBRIDGE. A few days after completing the course, the victim received a call from phone no 8778514787 and the caller conducted an interview over the phone and informed him that he had been selected as a Senior Associate at ATOS Company, Bengaluru and would undergo online training.

Later, the fraudster also sent the victim an offer letter via email but demanded a security deposit claiming it was 100 per cent refundable after 15 days from the date of joining. Believing the offer to be genuine, the victim transferred Rs1,39,584/- from his ICICI Bank account to multiple accounts provided by the fraudster through several transactions.

However, after receiving the payment, the fraudster kept postponing the victim’s joining date despite the deposit being made. Suspecting fraudulent activity, the victim requested a refund, but the fraudster has neither returned the money nor responded to the victim’s calls and emails for the past two months.

Realising he had been cheated in the name of a job opportunity, the victim lodged a complaint seeking assistance in recovering his money.
