Scammers are coming with a new strategy continuously to cheat people. A scam that has been roaming for months is the “father’s friend” scam, where fraudsters pose as a friend’s friend or acquaintance, often claim to require financial support or request sensitive information. However, recently, a clever young girl replaced the tables on a scammer in an effective way.
In a video shared on X, the girl is seen entangled with a fraud, who claimed to be her father’s friend, and pretended to play together. The scamster tried to convince him that his father had asked him to transfer money to his UPI account, and the girl ruined the scammer and maintained the acting. The cheater confidently told that he would send him Rs 12,000 through UPI.
He earlier said that he sent Rs 10,000, and sent him fake SMS on his phone. The girl saw that the message came from a personal number, not from her bank. The man then said that he accidentally sent him Rs 20,000 instead of Rs 2,000, tried to return him for Rs 18,000. Quick-Penching Girl showed to edit fake SMS that she sent back Rs 18,000 and sent it. “There, I have also sent you 18,000 rupees,” she says.
The scamsters were caught by the guard, and accepted the defeat, saying that before hanging “Main Aapko, Beta”.
