Rajkot: Couple gives their papers, cheats take loan in their names

RAJKOT: A husband-wife duo and their friend were cheated by cybercrooks who defrauded them of Rs four lakh with loans taken on their names by using their documents.
A complaint was lodged with University police station by the victim Arvind Solanki on Sunday night.
In June, Solanki said he got a call from a person who identified himself as a sales executive of a private finance company and offered the couple a loan of Rs one lakh. When they agreed to take the loan, another person named Ravi Parmar approached them as a representative of the company and asked for their documents.
He took Solanki’s phone on the pretext of carrying out online processing of the loan application online. When he inquired with the couple if any of their relatives or friends were in need of money, they introduced Parmar to Prabha Thummar.
Parmar assured them to process their loans early as possible.
However, after a few days the trio started getting phone calls from various finance companies to pay installments for the loan. On verifying with the companies, they found that loans worth Rs four lakh were taken from various finance companies and online purchases were also made using their documents.
Parmar had switched off his phone.
