HYDERABAD: Cyber fraudsters duped a private employee of Rs 70,000 when he tried placing an order for door delivery of liquor.
On June 14, Anurag Prashant, a private employee from Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, came to Hyderabad on work and stayed at a star hotel on Road Number 1, Banjara Hills.
Thinking that liquor shops would be shut during the night time on June 20, he searched on the Internet for liquor door delivery facility in Hyderabad.
Anurag found a phone number on the net and dialed it asking for door delivery of liquor.
“The fraudster, who answered the call, agreed to deliver liquor to Anurag’s hotel and asked him to pay the amount in advance,” Banjara Hills police said.
The fraudster took credit card details of Anurag along with OTP numbers and siphoned off Rs 70,000 in two transactions.
Anurag tried to call the fraudster but the number was switched off, police said.
Based on Anurag’s complaint, a case was registered on Wednesday.
