They are promised huge sums of money 5 million pounds or 10 million pounds, if they pay just a small fee. People end up paying once and then they fall into a trap. One payment call leads to another – for tax purpose or for clearance. These days, Reserve Bank’s name is also very liberally used.
Payments are stated to have been assured by Reserve Bank’s Governor or sometimes even in my name. An email is sent out stating that some fund has been deposited on your behalf and the money is sitting in Reserve Bank of India which you can claim. Very recently, I came across a unique incident.
