Mumbai: On lookout for jobs, three men duped online

In three separate instances across the city, three men looking for jobs on different online portals ended up losing money instead.

In the first instance, a 57-year-old man who stays with his wife and daughter in Andheri was duped of Rs 3.13 lakh. Officials said that after losing his previous job, the man had put up his application on an online job portal on July 6.

In his statement to the police, the complainant said, “On 10 July, I received an email from overseasjob.co on my email id offering me a job. Soon after, the person contacted me on my mobile and demanded money under the pretext of paying for biodata fee, skype fee, interview fee and various other reasons.”
