Mumbai: Cyber-fraudsters promise job in Indigo Airlines, dupe unemployed man of Rs 3.79 lakh

Two cyber-fraudsters, who impersonated as officials from Indigo Airlines, duped an unemployed man from Mumbai of Rs 3.79 lakh on the pretext of getting him a job as ticket-checker at the Mumbai International Airport. An FIR was registered with the Wadala police station on August 30.

The 42-year-old complainant told the police that he lives in Wadala with his wife and son and used to run tuition classes. But due to the pandemic he had to shut down his classes and was looking for a job. On June 1, he saw a job advertisement on Shine.com for a ticket checker in Indigo Airlines. He called on the number given in the advertisement but did not know that it was given by cyber-fraudsters.
