Hello friends,
How are you all? It took me little bit more time to came out one of the family problem i.e online frauds. Have you witnessed anything like this? Today I am sharing one of my experience because it disturbed my family peace.
It all started in the month of Sep 11.One person namely kiran from Jammu connected to my husband on Facebook. He started chatting on Facebook and calling on mobile to my husband on daily basis. My husband who is very simple and gentle person became a good friend of him very soon. My husband who always help me in my all works apart from his own business and job trapped by this guy Kiran.
Kiran ,who was suffering financially as he said. He was in search of some work. He shared his problem with my husband and my husband as by nature agreed to help him to start something which can help him to come out of this financially crises. My husband gave him some thousands of rupees and help him to set up his business.
He was showing great zeal about the business. He used to talk on daily basis. He started giving very good feedbacks to my husband about his business .My husband was very happy to listen to that. Then in the month of Nov 11,he asked some more favour. He started telling different stories but my husband again believed him and give him more money. This is the weakest point of my husband that he believed very soon and get ready to help everyone.
Things were going in very normal ways and my husband was very happy to help him. In the month of Dec 11 my husband told him to return the money as there was marriage of my sister in law. Kiran told my husband that his payments of around 1.5 lakhs are about to come from different places. He promised to return the money before marriage of my sister in law.
Suddenly next day a call came to my husband saying that I am depositing Rs. 30,000 in your account. He asked my husband do you supply CFL(small Tube light).My husband denied that he is not in the field of CFL. Then my husband called to kiran whether he told someone to deposit the money. He said, yes sir I told him to deposit the money in your account. My husband asked him how will you supply CFL as you are not in the field of CFL. He said that sir its my old business and I have still some raw material with me, I will supply him. You say him to deposit the money and we will settle our dues.
My husband told that guy to deposit the money. He deposited the money by asking do you know kiran. My husband told him that yes I know him .He is a good man. After two days of money deposit ,Kiran called my husband saying that sir please deposit that money in Davis’s bank account as he is my partner in CFL business. My husband told him that he spent the money as you never told me that you will need this money. It was part of that money that I lend you. He said ,sir we need to deliever CFL to that guy presently and I will give your money in next month as I started this CFL business also once again and I am about to get some more orders very soon. I need your help and surely I will return your money in next month.
My husband once again decided to help him as he start crying for help and deposit the money in Davis’s bank account. CFL guy was continuous in touch with my husband by saying sir please tell Kiran to supply soon as he is delaying. My husband told kiran yaar why are you not delivering CFL to him. He told sir it will take 2-3 days and he will get his CFL. Somehow he was not able to deliver the CFL for 15 days by saying that sir price of raw material increased but still I purchased but he is now saying to refund his money because of the delay. It will be loss to me.
Finally this whole case continued with this kind of conversations and Kiran switched off his mobile .So CFL guy had empty hands as he neither got his CFL or money refund. Now he started calling my husband by saying that I deposit the money in your account and you took the guarantee that he is a good man. My husband told him that its right that you deposit money in my account but your deal of CFL was with kiran not me. But still I try to contact Kiran and will try that he refund at least your money. I will clear/settle my dues later.
One day Kiran called my husband and said sorry for inconvenience caused to him. He said that he suffered from financially loss and promised to give CFL guy money back by withdrawing his one committee of Rs. 60,000 On 22Feb.But he requested not to give his this private no. to anyone. My husband called that CFL guy and said that he got mail from kiran and he will refund your money on 22 Feb. Finally 22Feb came and my husband called kiran on his second mobile no. but it was also switched off. He called him so many times but it was continuously showing switched off.
Now that CFL guy started threatening my husband for police complaint as he deposit the money in my husband’s account. This all story created a tensed environment in my family because if he filed case against my husband then it may lead to problem to my husband’s job also as he is in govt. job. At last my husband gave his second mobile no. and home address of Kiran which my husband had and disclose all the things which he knows about Kiran to that CFL guy. But CFL guy was continue making calls to my husband and once he give mobile to one of his friend by saying that please talk to my brother who is in police to show that he is actually going to do that. The police men talked to my husband and said that either you refund money as it was deposited in your account or we are going to file a FIR against you and legally there is no case on Kiran as money deposited in your account.
Finally my husband revealed this whole fraud case to the family members. All were shocked as my husband is very gentle man and they peoples trapped him. Then we met to lawyer who is one of our family member to know what we can do in this case. Lawyers suggested some points:-
- He can’t file case against you as he deposited cash in your account.
- He has no proof of any deal between you.
- You never said him to deliver CFL.
- There was your dues on Kiran and and kiran told him to deposit the money to your account to clear your dues.
- Now you can file case against him that he is threatening you for no reason by the help of his police friend.
- Never switched off your mobile because it is the strongest point that you were always in touch with him and you have no fault like Kiran.
- It may be possible that they both are friends and tried to trap you to take more money from you.
After that there was no call from CFL guy for three days. He called after three days but this time my husband told him that now I am going to file a case against you and Kiran. My lawyer prepared file for the case. My husband asked his and his police friends address. Now he understood that it may lead him to trouble as he never had dealing of CFL with my husband then why he deposited money in his account. Now he started saying that sir we are not doing any case and I called you to say that only. We came to know that you are innocent and you even tried your best to get my money refund. You never switched off your mobile. So we are not going to do anything against you and he didn’t disclose his address. He said that we are not going to file a case against anyone. So finally tension ends.
Moral of this whole experience is
- You should help others but not blindly.
- Never give money to a person whose home address you don’t know.
- Never give cash for anything. Always deal by cheque so that you should have proof of giving.
- You should always take receipt for your money transactions.
- Never allow a person to deposit money in your account, whom you don’t know.
- Always share your problems with your family as you will get great support.
