After the transaction, the caller became unreachable.

In another incident, a victim fell prey to a financial fraud totaling Rs. 50,000. Initially investing a sum, the victim was coerced into investing more by the fraudster, who subsequently disappeared after the victim’s phone was switched off.

A third complaint outlined a financial scam amounting to Rs. 38,500. The victim applied for a loan through the Fundflex loan calculator app, only to receive a call demanding Rs. 1,250 as membership fees. Despite complying, the fraudster demanded further payments until becoming unreachable.
