Mangaluru, Jun 3: A person who had gone in search of a loan from a private financier was cheated of Rs 18,119.
The unidentified person received a call asking him to furnish his KYC documents to get his loan sanctioned which he followed. Later, he received another call stating that the loan had been sanctioned, the details of which were being sent to his WhatsApp number. The financier demanded agreement charges and loan payment charges be remitted via Google Pay. Believing this to be true, the person transferred money from his bank account in several tranches amounting to Rs 18,119.
When the person asked for the loan disbursement, he neither got the loan nor the refund of the money that he had remitted towards charges.
A case has been registered by the Mangaluru city police.
