Patna. Cyber miscreants cheated two girl students preparing for NEET of Rs 1.79 lakh on the pretext of winning a lucky draw in online shopping. Both the students are residents of Pandasarai in Darbhanga and study in PG located at Anandpuri on Boring Road in Patna. Students Suman Saurya and Bhavna Dixit had ordered some clothes from a big online company on Friday. Two hours later, I got a call from an unknown girl, who introduced herself as the original head of an online shopping company.
The caller called Bhavna Dixit’s mobile and said that the two clothes you had bought were in a discount sale. You have received many offers and lucky draws. After this Bhavna said that my friend Suman Saurya has also made a purchase. After this, the caller asked for the booking ID of online shopping from both Bhavna and Suman.
After this asked for mobile number and Aadhaar card. After some time, a link came to the girl in the name of Lucky Draw, when she clicked it, the bumper lucky draw and the names of both were written in it. Seeing this, Bhavna and Suman thought that I was actually the winner of the lucky draw. After some time OTP came on both of their mobiles and both of them told the OTP to the girl who called. Shortly after telling the OTP, the message of money deduction came on both of their mobiles. Six times Rs 1.79 lakh was withdrawn from both their accounts.
