MYSURU: A 20-year-old student lost Rs 80,000 after she dialled phone numbers shown on search engines while browsing the internet looking for a job. Within a few days, the callers promised her a job as ground staff in an airline in January and then received money multiple times online before blocking her.
Similarly, a group of callers swindled a 32-year-old homemaker who was looking for a job of about Rs 13 lakh in May by promising her a job. She has lodged a complaint with the cyber police.
