Bengaluru, February 1:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천A fraudster posing as a UK-based neurosurgeon on a matrimonial site has duped a Bengaluru woman of INR 2.6 lakh. The 30-year-old software engineer, who had created a profile on the platform in search of a match, was tricked into transferring the money for a fake customs fee. The scammer convinced her that he needed funds to clear a customs charge at the Delhi airport. An investigation is now underway following the woman's complaint to the Central CEN Crime police.

According to a Times of India , the victim, identified as Manasa (name changed), had created her profile on a matrimonial platform in December 2024 in search of a suitable match. She was drawn to the profile of one Dr. Sujeet Kumar, who claimed to be a neurosurgeon from the UK. After a brief exchange of messages and phone numbers, Dr Sujeet expressed his intent to marry Manasa and even promised lavish gifts like a house and a car, which she politely declined. He further mentioned his plans to visit India to meet her and her parents.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Matrimonial Scam: Fraudster Poses as Customs Officer, Dupes Over 250 Women on Matrimonial Sites in Bengaluru, Arrested.

However, the situation took a bizarre turn when Manasa received a call on January 27 from a woman who introduced herself as Monika Singh, claiming to be a customs officer at Delhi airport. Monika informed Manasa that Dr. Sujeet had arrived with 50,000 pounds, which exceeded the permissible amount, and was being held up due to customs. To release the money, she insisted that Manasa transfer INR 38,500 as a customs charge.
