After a few days, the person said he would transfer ₹7.85 lakh to the victim’s account to avoid being taxed, asking the victim to return it once he returned to India. The fraudsters sent a fake challan showing that the deposit was made into the victim’s account and claimed the money would reflect in his account in the next 24 hours. However, hours later, fraudsters posing as the victim’s friend sent an SOS message on Facebook claiming he was in some trouble with the police in Dubai and asked him to send ₹1.5 lakh from the money he deposited in the victim’s account to another account of an agent.
