On Instagram, by becoming a cardiologist, he talked about treating the woman’s heart first and then cheated her 80 lakh rupees on the pretext of sending her a surprise gift.
A 50-year-old widow woman living in Bangalore was duped of Rs 80 lakh by a man by trapping her in his love trap. Two-three more people were involved with this, who described themselves as officials of the Ministry of Finance and IGI Airport in New Delhi.
According to the report of Bangalore Mirror, this woman is a single mother with a heart patient and she has filed a complaint with the police against the main accused and his associates who carried out this fraud. This person runs an Instagram account under the name of Mavis Hormon.
Cheating by falling in love
In her complaint, the woman said that on 23 January she came across a profile on Instagram of a cardiologist named Mavis Herman, who was from the UK. Being a cardiac patient, this woman was looking for good treatment. Along with this, she was also looking for a life partner for herself and in Mavis she saw the qualities of a partner. After this they started talking to each other and then Hermann also talked about the treatment of this woman’s disease.
A few days later, Harman told the woman that he had sent her a surprise gift via courier. After this, he was later called by some people posing as customs officers and told that they had found 35,000 pounds in the gift box.
According to Bangalore Mirror, the woman said that she did not expect any kind of gift from Harman and later these people who called as Delhi airport officials asked for money to solve the issue without any hassle. He demanded a huge amount in the form of foreign currency conversion charges, transferring charges, taxes to keep Harman out of any legal affair.
Planning to cheat more and more money
A woman unaware of this fraud sent lakhs of rupees to the accounts of these people and when she stopped sending money, a person called her as an officer of the Ministry of Home Affairs and demanded more money from her, taking the name of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The accused also told him that since the lockdown is going on in Delhi, he will have to send money as soon as possible to avoid trouble.
The woman realized after losing millions
The woman eventually realized that she was being cheated and pleaded with the accused to return her money, but in vain. She said that a part of the money was left for her by her late husband. After this the woman lodged a complaint with the Banashankari police. The police have registered a case of cheating, forgery and impersonation against the accused.
