The Mumbai Police have caught three accused who have been conning people by taking money in lieu of fake gold coins. According to the police, the team of three, including one woman, would target wealthy people or shops. They had a grand story in place as their introduction: they said they were from Uttar Pradesh, and that they had found gold coins on the farms that they owned, and then would pretend to be looking for a museum to sell those to. They would then ask for help and agree to take even '25 to 30 lakh in exchange of the coins, which they alleged cost crores.
