Mangaluru Doctor Loses Rs 4.2 Lakh in Overseas Job Scam

Later, in the name of profile verification, additional processing, licensing, and NoC, the fraudsters sought money. Accordingly, a total of Rs 4,20,062 was transferred in a phased manner, reports Deccan Herald.

However, when the fraudsters demanded an additional Rs 2,62,000, the victim grew suspicious and paused further transactions. Upon consulting friends and colleagues, the complainant discovered that no such job opening existed at NMC Hospital, and that the entire recruitment process was a scam.

Realising the extent of the fraud, the victim filed a formal complaint with the Kankanady Town Police, seeking strict legal action against the perpetrators. The complaint accuses the fraudsters of misusing online job platforms and communication channels to target and exploit job-seeking professionals.
