Man Arrested for iPhone Loan Scam, Duping at Least 30 People

Imagine someone really needs money, like wanting to buy a phone.

A man named Soumik promised to help, saying he could get them a loan to buy an iPhone.

He said once the loan went through, the money would be given to them.

But, the people never received the money or the iPhone.

Instead, they had to start paying back the loan anyway!

Soumik was arrested for tricking at least 30 people this way.

He would collect their personal information, arrange the loan, and then disappear with the money.

The victims were left with debt, and the police are now investigating.

The police are warning people to be careful when sharing personal information to get a loan.
