"Pregnant Job" Scam - Bihar Ka Sabse Bizarre Fraud
Nawada Cyber Police ne ek aisa scam bust kiya hai jiska naam sunke aap shock ho jaoge: "All India Pregnant Job".
Scammers ka claim tha: "Ek woman ko pregnant karo aur ₹10 Lakh kamao."
Kaise Kaam Karta Tha Ye Scam?
The Bait (Facebook/WhatsApp Ads)
Ads aisi dikhti thi:
"Childless couples ko help karein. ₹5-10 Lakh reward. Contact: 9XXX..."
Target Kaun?
- Financially stressed men
- Rural areas ke unemployed youth
- Desperate job seekers
The Trap
Jab victim contact karta:
Step 1: "Aapko ek couple se milna hai jo childless hai. Aap unhe help karoge."
Step 2: "Registration fee ₹2,000 bhejo. Phir couple ki details milegi."
Step 3: "Medical test ke liye ₹5,000 bhejo."
Step 4: "Couple ne accept kar liya. Meeting fix karne ke liye ₹10,000 advance."
Step 5: Paisa leke gayab.
Reality Check
Ye Sab Fake Hai Kyunki:
- Illegal hai - Surrogacy laws strict hain India mein
- Koi couple aisa nahi karti - Ye criminal offense hai
- Registration fee = Red flag - Job mein pehle paise nahi lete
- Too good to be true - ₹10 Lakh for "service"? Scam hai
