Actor Karan Singh Grover falls prey to Nigerian online lottery scam
Mangalore Today Network-1
Mumbai: June 6, 2015: Bollywood actor Karan Singh Grover has lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police claiming that money was siphoned off from his bank accounts. The actor is the latest to have fallen prey to the notorious Nigerian online lottery scam.
In his complaint, Karan has alleged that he lost Rs 5.6 lakh which was paid by him as ‘processing fees’ to claim his ‘winning prize money’. The payment was made following an email received by him informing that he has won a lottery online. After making the said payment, the actor never received the promised sum and when he contacted his fraudsters they became incommunicado, the police said.
“The actor has shared his account details and we are probing the case,” a police officer from Khar police station where the complaint has been lodged said.
“Online lottery scams are rampant and many times they are operated from off shore. Though, in this case the actor has shared the mobile numbers of the fraudsters and we are working on it,” he added.
