Scam season doesn’t seem to be ending, with a recent case shedding light on new methods that are used to defraud people. A 30-year-old working professional has filed a complaint at the Shivaji Nagar police station in Govandi after being duped of Rs 27 lakh.

Broadly, the scheme went like this: The victim was told via chat with pictures of customer feedback and certain ‘government’ certificates, that there is a way to earn from home.
