Mysuru: Despite several warnings by the City Police not to fall prey to dubious telephone calls and emails that promise gifts, two women lost about Rs. 6 lakh to fraudsters. While one woman was promised a courier that contained gold and cash, the other woman was assured of a plum job for her son abroad. Both the cases have been reported from Vidyaranyapuram.
In the first case, Nagalakshmi, a resident of Vidyaranyapuram, lost Rs. 46,095 after she deposited the money in a particular bank account. In her complaint lodged yesterday, Nagalakshmi stated that on May 22, she received a call from a lady who claimed to be working for “overnight courier company”.
