Facebook Advertisement Leads To Fraud
According to police, the woman, a resident of Sector 2 in Airoli, was looking for a solution to her marital problems when she came across an advertisement for an astrologer on Facebook. The advertisement carried a mobile phone number, which she contacted in the hope of finding a remedy for the frequent quarrels with her husband.
The accused allegedly gained her confidence by assuring her that he could permanently resolve the disputes between the couple. Claiming that the process required money, he persuaded her to make payments through different modes.
