Sai Prasad deposited lakhs for 14 months thinking that he would get the
US dollars. Prasad paid Rs 1.5 crore from his savings and by taking
huge loans. He had worked in Gambia for five years.
"In December 2015 Sai Prasad received a friend request from the fake FB profile of a US woman soldier in Iraq. She told him that she had deposited USD 5.6 million with Red Cross. She told him that she wanted to give the money to him," said inspector K.V.M. Prasad.
The fraudsters later called Prasad pretending to be a man named
Williams. Sai Prasad was told that Delhi customs had arrested Williams
and he had to pay Rs 71,500. Sai Prasad deposited the cash.
Finally, the crooks called Sai Prasad to Delhi and told him that they
had got the box released. They introduced themselves as friends of the
US soldier and showed him some dollars.
They told him the dollars were masked as black paper, and a chemical
had to be used for washing the currency and make it dollars. They then
took Rs 13.6 lakh from him to buy the chemical.
