MUMBAI: A fashion designer lost nearly Rs 3 lakh of her family's money while trying to help out a carpenter who was a potential target of a cyber fraudster. A criminal offence has been lodged at Malad police station.
The 26-year-old fashion designer lives at Malad West with her family. She had hired a carpenter to make furniture at her home. On Tuesday morning, while the carpenter was at work, he received a text message from an unknown number to say that electricity supply at his home would be disconnected as he hadn’t paid the bill.
