Pharmaceutical Official Loses Over 1 Crore in Online Scam

Imagine someone pretending to be a real company to trick people.

That's what happened to a pharmaceutical company boss in Kolkata.

They were offered a deal to buy and sell kola nuts, which are used in medicines.

The people behind the deal pretended to be a well-known company.

They sent fake emails and used phone numbers to trick the official.

They even sent a small amount of kola nuts to seem trustworthy.

Over a couple of weeks, the official sent over a crore of rupees to different bank accounts.

But it was all a trick, and they lost their money.
