Bengaluru: Hotel owner loses Rs 52,000 in online payment app scam
Bengaluru: A hotel owner in Ramamurthy Nagar fell victim to an online payment app scam, losing a amount of Rs 52,000. The incident unfolded when the miscreants, who posed as bank executives, approached the owner of Biryani Hotel, Parul Shah.
In a swift deception, the two strangers convinced Parul Shah that he could avail a cashback offer on the online payment app by making daily transactions of Rs 300. Under the pretense of helping him, one of the culprits requested access to Parul Shah's mobile phone to download the app and complete the process.
Believing their ruse, Shah handed over his mobile phone and also shared his bank details. The miscreants assured him that the app had been successfully installed and then departed from the scene.

The police registered a case and initiated an investigation into the matter.
