Lucknow, March 27 (). A 74-year-old retired senior manager of HAL was duped of Rs 7.8 lakh. In his complaint lodged on Sunday, Krishna Kumar Verma, a resident of Indira Nagar, said a woman, posing as Thuma Rini Widodo from Indonesia, sent him an email. It said she wanted to recover unclaimed money (Rs 152 crore) left by the late King of Indonesia, which is deposited in a bank there.
He talked about helping me financially and sharing the profits in return. She kept sending me emails asking for help. I ignored it initially but later I inquired with the bank about it, it confirmed the unclaimed money. I contacted an Indonesian lawyer named Harlem Napitul and paid him his fees. This is how they took Rs 7.8 lakh from me and then stopped responding to my e-mails.
Inspector, Cyber Cell, Lucknow, Mohd Muslim Khan said that an FIR has been registered against unknown persons.
A unit of cyber cell is working on the case and the accused will be arrested soon, he said.
