Winners a ‘loser’
An IT firm employee was duped of Rs 19,800. According to Girish, a resident of Hulimavu, JP Nagar, he received an email from one Glen J Kennedy saying he had won Rs 5 crore in a contest. However, he had to remit some amount to claim the prize.
Some miscreants, said to be working in a bank in the UK, asked him to remit the amount in a bank. As soon as he did so, the amount was withdrawn by miscreants. He later found the email was fake.
