Man in Mangaluru defrauded of Rs 32 lakh with online employment offer
Mangaluru: Trusting an offer of an online part-time job proved expensive for a man here as he reportedly followed the directions of the fraudster and lost up to Rs 32 lakh.
The victim, who filed a complaint with Ullal Police, has said that he received a message from a person called Manvi on the social media platform Telegram on February 26 and was informed of a part-time job offer. The person is learned to have said that the victim could perform simple tasks like giving hotel ratings to earn money but added that he would have to make an initial payment of Rs 10,000.
The complainant told the police that he transferred the amount to the account of one Ashok Dattarwal on March 10 and, on completion of a task, he received Rs 17,000 as payment. Spurred by this, he invested Rs 10,000 again and was also paid for a task. The complainant paid up to Rs 32 lakh in phases to accounts of many individuals identified as Kishan Kumar, Ratheesh K, Prahlad Ahyavar, Shahjahan Ali, Piyush Santosh Rao, Yash Vaidyanath Kasare, Rameshwar Lal, and Ananthu Krishna between March 11 and April 2.
At a point when he neither got returns nor received any sort of communication, the complainant realized he had been duped and approached the police.
A case has been registered by the Ullal Police, who are probing the matter.

New Delhi (PTI): Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, saying those indulging in "vote chori" are "gaddars" and need to be removed from power to save the voting right and the Constitution.
Addressing the party's 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally at the Ramlila Maidan here, Kharge said it is the duty of all Indians to unitedly strengthen Congress ideology as only this party can save the country.
