Bengaluru: IAS officer cheated after purchasing saree online
Bengaluru: A case of online fraud has come to light in the city after a senior IAS officer was allegedly cheated while purchasing a saree online. Sakala Mission Director Pallavi Akurati has filed a complaint with the East Division’s Cyber, Economic and Narcotics (CEN) Police Station after being duped through a digital advertisement.
According to the complaint, Pallavi came across a video advertisement posted by a seller under the name Purnima Collection, promoting cotton sarees purportedly from Madurai Sungudi, Tamil Nadu. Swayed by the presentation, she selected a saree and made a payment of ₹850 via Google Pay on March 10. However, despite repeated follow-ups, the saree was never delivered to her address.
In her complaint, Pallavi stated that she was not only denied the product but also received no refund, leading her to believe it was a scam. She further expressed concern that others may have fallen prey to similar fraudulent advertisements circulated through online videos.
