Beware online scammies are prevalent in our own place and we fail to recognize them while being lured to their false promises. The incident that occurred in Hyderabad just reveals how people who are genuinely looking for additional source of income fall prey. Sporting a `work at home’, slogan, an online company has cheated gullible public, lakhs of rupees, say police sources.

City Facilities Management Service head quartered in Hyderabad had lured online clients to invest some amounts and work at home to earn multiples of investment. Lured by the proposal many invested in the ranges of Rs 5,000 to Rs 5 Lakhs also. However, when the time had come for repayments, they never replied. Moreover, when the irate clients dropped in at the company address, it was locked. Suspecting of being cheated, as usual the people complained to the police. And subsequent to the report, police are investigating the case. (With inputs from internet- AW AarKay)
