Anil Padam Singh, 23, a resident of Sakinaka, lost Rs 1 lakh from his digital wallet account, when he thought he called a reputable finance firm regarding the EMIs on his new mobile phone. It turns out that the finance company's phone number he took from Google, was false. An FIR has been filed against unknown people.

How he was cheated

Singh, in his complaint to Sakinaka police, said, "I called on the finance company's customer executive number available on Google, to check the EMI status of my new phone. The executive who picked up the call after checking my details, told me they would close the loan account and asked if I had a Google pay account."
