A 29-year-old woman from Navi Mumbai fell prey to a fraudulent scheme and lost nearly Rs 10 lakh through a deceptive `task` scam, police officials told PTI on Friday. The woman, according to the report, hailing from Kamothe area told the cops that she was contacted by two persons through phone and the messaging app Telegram in August this year. She said that these individuals offered her participation in various "online tasks".
According to the report in PTI, the woman was given assurance through monetary rewards earned through the completion of simple tasks online. Following that, she willingly participated. However, she ended up losing Rs 9.85 lakh to these individuals, who continually found pretexts to extract money from her, all the while guaranteeing the pending payments, according to the woman`s account.
