Noida: In most of the houses of the sectors, elderly and single women live, who are on the target of the fraudsters and scammers. A recent case has came to light in Noida’s Sector 51 where a family tried to enter the house and demanded cash, but the family saved themselves from getting into the trap by their presence of mind.
On 12th June 2024, at around 2:00 pm, in the E block of Sector 51, the bell was rung and a demand of ₹13080/- was made with the efforts by taking the educated and intelligent women living in the sector into confidence. But as the woman was wise and intelligent, she did not fall in their trap.
But the question arises, is everyone capable of combating such scams?
RWA needs the support of the Police Department to safeguard against these frauds
Sanjeev Singh, Secretary, DDRWA Sector 51 Says, “To avoid such cases, the RWA as well as the police department needs to work diligently. Along with the online frauds happening every day in the district, now this work of grabbing money by fooling offline has also started in the city.”
Know the case in detail
The person who came to the house to commit fraud first said this vacant plot is mine and I have come to get boring done in this plot today, I need a bottle of water to drink. He rang the bell again, the person said that my elderly parents had also come with me and I wanted two chairs to be given to me so that I could make them sit in the shade under the tree.
Then after 5 minutes, he rang the bell again and said that the person who was going to do the boring had come and my parents were coming in my car and there was ₹700000 in the car which would arrive in 15 minutes, you give me 13080/- rupees, I will return it to you in 10 minutes. These people who have come to do the boring want to bring some goods.
Because the woman was educated and intelligent, she immediately understood the intention of the person and refused to give money saying that she did not have any money.
The fraudster tried a lot but he could not convince the woman and after a while, he left from there.
The family living in E-2, Sector 51 has reported this incident to the General Secretary of Sector 51’s WhatsApp group and has requested help.
The police department is requested to please take immediate action and find the person so that he cannot cheat any other resident again.
