The Mumbai police on Saturday registered an offence of cyber cheating after a 24-year-old from Andheri lost Rs15 to custom clearance fraud. After befriending the woman the fraudster made her pay around Rs 15 lakh in the name of various charges in return for his purported parcel carrying cash and jewellery sent from Florida in the United States. 

According to the police, it all started in the second week of April when the woman who works as a lab technician at a hospital in Bandra, received a message stating '"Hey Charming What an astonishing smile you got here I got caught by that wonderful smile, I couldn't take my eyes off you without saying", on her Instagram from one Benson Smith. Without any second thought, the woman started chatting with her.
