    After the blockbuster '15 lakhs' now one more blockbuster '40%' is making news. Gujarat se chalu hua and reached Mlore. Shame on Mangaloreans. The fraudster must be laughing all the way to the bank.

    When there is a big supply of so many rich, educated, oversmart fools, why would the "unemployed jholachap fakirs" make a quick buck just sitting at home with a smartphone 🤓 😜?

    Another example of "paper degree" devoid of basic commonsense and a little logic from the land of "ati buddhivantas" While empathizing with his loss, this "Gopala" might be definitely having lots of spare money and time to venture 😜 into such "kindergarten class games"!! Needs some immediate advice from primary school students 😔!

    True, Through various bank accounts. Banks accounts cant be fraud and they cant be opened by you telling open account and account opened. KYC documents required, photo required and photo should match account holder. So run after Banks instead of fraudsters or Fordsters

    Surprised that educated people fall for these scams. I have been approached twice by those thieves and I just took the free initial amount of 300-400₹ from them. Then alerted most of the members in the telegram task group to not to pay the amount to scammers. I think everyone should do this so that thieves don't succeed.
