Bengaluru call centre employee dupes Chennai techie of Rs 14.5 lakh
CHENNAI: A call centre employee from Bengaluru was arrested for allegedly posing as a middleman on OLX to dupe an IT professional, planning to buy a used car in Chennai, of Rs 14.5 lakh. Investigators are now suspecting a network behind the fraud as they found the phone and SIM card used in the crime were procured from multiple sources.
The suspect, Rajesh, contacted both the prospective buyer – Sathish (32) of Kilpauk — and seller — Bharath (32) of Medavakkam — separately, identifying himself as a relative of the other.
