A man in Kapur duped the scammers who had called to scam the individual and around 10,000 rupees have been extracted from the scammer. After he realized, he was scammed, the scammer pleaded to get his money back. The incident happned when the fraudster, called and posed as a CBI officer.

The complainant, Bhupendra Singh received a call from a person who was impersonating a CBI offer and claimed that he had some explicit and obscene videos of Bhupendra Singh. He also claimed to take legal action against the case however, he also said that the matter can be shut down once a small amount of bribe is paid.

After finding something fishy, he made a plan can outsmart the scammers. Bhupendra played with the Scammers. He behaved as if it was “Uncle, please don’t tell my mother, or I’ll be in big trouble.”

The fraudster then asked for 16,000 rupees as a bribe to settle the case. Bhupendra started narrating his fake story of how he had pawned a gold chain and he would need 3000 to fetch the chain freed up from the jeweler. Falling for the trap, the scammer agreed to pay 3000 rupees to Bhupendra. The scammer called Bhupendra a few days later and he started with another tale. He narrated that the jeweler had refused to return the gold chain claiming his minority. He then suggested that the scammer pose as his father and speak to the jeweler.

The scammer pretended to be the father of Bhupendra while a friend pretended to be a jeweler and urged for a transfer of 4000 rupees to get the chain out. The scammer transferred the funds without any hesitation as he was sure to get all the money back. He then claimed that a net loan of 1 lakh could be obtained if it was sold however, for the gold loan a processing fee of 3000 was needed. The scammer was unaware of the situation and transferred an additional 3000 rupees.

Please return my money.” Despite multiple attempts to secure his lost money, he could only plead to the victim. Bhupendra reported the case to the police and he also claimed that the money extorted would be donated to someone in need.
