Karkala, June 20: A 32-year-old woman from Renjala village was allegedly cheated of ₹95,000 in an online scam that promised profits through a work-from-home job and investment scheme.
The victim, Pallavi B.R., had come across a work-from-home offer on Facebook and registered for it. Soon after, unknown individuals contacted her via WhatsApp and asked her to download the Telegram app through a link they shared.
According to her complaint, she was offered 20 daily tasks, with a promised payment of ₹10 per task. The scammers also introduced her to a supposed investment plan that would generate high returns. Trusting their words, Pallavi transferred money in phases from her Canara Bank account (Karkala branch) between June 11 and 13, totaling ₹95,000.
However, she did not receive any profits or payments as promised. Realising she had been duped, Pallavi lodged a complaint at the Karkala Rural Police Station. A case has been registered, and investigation is underway.
