Facebook friend dupes woman of Rs 8.5 lakh
A government teacher from Penamaluru was duped of Rs 8.5 lakh by a Facebook friend.
A government teacher from Penamaluru was duped of Rs 8.5 lakh by a Facebook friend.
The woman, Kadiyam Shiva Kameshwari works as a government teacher at Seetharamapuram near Nujiveedu. According to the police, Kameshwari befriended Ashvi Thomson on Facebook and the duo became good friends.
15 days back, Thomson told Kameshwari about a gift of Rs 41 lakh worth ornaments and furniture from a courier service in Delhi informing her regarding the delivery charges.
Later, Kameshwari received a call from Elid courier services from Delhi informing her that she received a parcel and asked her to pay Rs 8.5 lakh for charges.
Since her friend had told about a similar gift, Kameshwari withdrew the amount and transferred the amount to the courier services. However, on not receiving the courier and her friend also deactivating the Facebook account, Kameshwari lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime police.
A case has been registered in this regard and police are investigating.
