Navi Mumbai: In another incident of online fraud, a 31-year-old doctor residing in Navi Mumbai fell prey to a fraudulent scheme, losing Rs 1 lakh after ordering a lipstick worth Rs 300 from an e-commerce portal.
The doctor purchased a lipstick worth Rs 300 and a few days later, she heard from the courier company which informed her that her purchase had arrived. When she called the courier company's number since she hadn't received it, she was informed that a customer service agent would get in touch with her. During the call on November 9, the imposter informed the doctor that her order had been inexplicably put on hold. To resolve the issue, she was instructed to transfer a nominal amount of Rs 2. The fraudster then sent her a web link, urging her to enter her bank details for the transaction to proceed, reports the daily.
