When Kharghar resident Omisha Nandkishor received a callon her mobile from a leading service provider, her joy knew no bounds after she was informed that she had won Rs 5 lakh worth of gifts in a Diwali bonanza offer. It was the perfect start to a day when she was supposed to go for a job interview.

An hour later, however, she was left cursing her stars, since she had been duped of Rs 6,000 in a scam that ended what should have been a new beginning for the young girl, as she lost the job too.
