I downloaded the app because I needed some money, I had previously used similar loan apps, so I uploaded relevant documents and my bank details. They offered me Rs 7
200,000, much less than what I wanted,” said.
Soon after, around Rs 3,000 was credited into Sachin’s bank account. A week later, I started receiving messages from multiple numbers, posing as representatives of the app, asking him to pay the loan back. “They started sending me links to UPI IDs that did not work and asked me to pay back Rs 6,000 after just six days,” he said. It was almost twice the amount credited.
Following his refusal, the representatives started blackmailing him. “I paid the money immediately since I didn’t want them to harass my women contacts,” he said. However, the representatives immediately demanded that he pay the amount again.
