The DB Marg police in Mumbai apprehended two individuals accused of defrauding customers out of Rs. 4 lakhs under the guise of selling laptops. This deceptive operation was uncovered when an aggrieved customer filed a complaint at the police station against an unknown individual.

According to a police officer, "The alleged accused had orchestrated this scam by creating counterfeit social media accounts. They posed as intermediaries who facilitated transactions between sellers and buyers. To gain the trust of their victims, they would provide contact details to both parties. Subsequently, they manipulated buyers into making payments to the accused."
