Man Duped of ₹4 Lakh in Online International Fund Transfer Scam

HYDERABAD: A 26-year-old man from Vanastalipuram who was searching online for money transfer agencies was cheated of ₹4 lakh by a man posing as an agent for international fund transfers. According to the complaint filed by the victim, a resident of Kranti Hills, Vanastalipuram, he was trying to transfer money to his brother in London.
