Pune Residents Lose Lakhs in Separate Online Fraud Scams

Two people in Pune were tricked out of a lot of money by online crooks.

One person, a software engineer, was tricked into giving their credit card info for an address update, and lost over 11 lakh rupees.

The other person, a company secretary, was offered an online job to review hotels.

They were promised money for doing easy tasks and were eventually tricked into transferring 44 lakh rupees.

Both victims filed police complaints, and investigations are ongoing.

Remember, don't share your financial info with unknown sources and be wary of online job offers promising easy money!
