Mumbai resident seeking loan for daughter’s education duped of ₹90,000

A 56-year-old man from Navi Mumbai seeking a loan for his daughter’s education was allegedly duped of ₹90,000 by online fraudsters. The man who is employed by a logistics company, claimed he came across a post on social media platform Facebook about instant loans being available within two hours, PTI reported.

According to the report, the complainant had applied for a loan online with the concerned finance company on November 8. Within minutes, he received a call and the caller offered him loan. The caller asked the complainant to pay insurance charges, GST, NOC charges, RBI charges and two advance instalments, totalling ₹90,000, a police official told the agency.

But the complainant did not receive the loan amount and was instead asked to make additional payments.
