There are scams and there are scamsters with numerous ways in which they try to pull off their cons. The Mumbai police recently arrested a 27-year-old man for allegedly posing as actor Salman Khan's brother-in-law on social media, and cheating a Kolkata resident of approximately Rs 1 lakh on the pretext of getting his son into an international school in the city, a report in this paper had said.

This Kalyan resident posed as an influential person also telling his victim that he would get his wife a role in a forthcoming Salman movie. The Kolkata resident, who was supposed to move to Mumbai shortly, paid the money. The scam was unearthed after he called the school and asked about his son's admission, as the conman had given a false 'receipt' for the money he had paid.
