Mumbai. A man from Maharashtra dreamed of doing something big in life. This 40 year old man works in the field of medicine manufacturing. In this context, he thought that if he bought a medicine manufacturing machine from a renowned Chinese company and brought it to India, he could expand his business. He was successful in doing this and also bought the machine. Now it was his turn to pay. Before the victims living in Navi Mumbai could make the payment, something happened to them, which they would not have expected even in their dreams.
Actually, what happened was that before he could make payment to the Chinese company for the machine, he received an e-mail. This was a fake e-mail. The thugs sitting in China had created a fake e-mail ID of the said company and sent this e-mail to a Mumbai businessman. A request was made in the mail to make payment in exchange for the machine. This businessman was given links to a total of three bank accounts. These three accounts are from China only. Between January 24 and March 18, the businessman gradually deposited Rs 1.54 crore in these three accounts.

It was only in the month of March when a demand for money was made by the genuine Chinese company that the businessman came to know that he had been cheated. After this he contacted the Cyber Crime Special of Mumbai Police. Considering the huge amount involved and the seriousness of this incident, the police has immediately registered a case and started investigation. Since this matter is between two countries, it is certain that the help of central investigative agencies will be taken. The thugs were aware that this businessman had a deal with the company.
