    This is nothing but recent look sabha election effect, people were listening continued fake promises and lengthy bhashans...still that hangover is on.

    How people from most educated district in the state can get fooled by unknown and unseen Facebook contacts to part with such large amounts of money. How one can believe that box with dollars get shipped to customs staff. God help this country. No doubt that namma nechina Mangalore has now become Manga gala Uru. Anyway not to worry the promised 15 lakh to every account on the way to compensate the loss. ......Jai ho....!!!!!
