A chartered accountant based in Bengaluru, India, found himself in even deeper financial trouble after being scammed out of Rs 6.2 lakh (Indian currency). The accountant, known as Raghuvaran, had initially attempted to sell one of his kidneys in order to pay off his old debts. However, his situation worsened when he fell victim to a scam.

Raghuvaran’s complaint, filed with the Central CEN Crime Police on February 28, detailed his search for potential kidney donors online. During his search, he came across a website called www.kidneysuperspecialist.org and found a contact number (9631688773) for further information.

Upon calling the provided number, Raghuvaran was asked to share basic details such as his name, age, and blood group over WhatsApp. When he revealed that his blood group was AB negative, the scammers told him that he could receive Rs 2 crore (20 million rupees) by selling one of his kidneys, with half of the amount paid in advance.

Enticed by the seemingly lucrative deal, Raghuvaran shared his identification proof, including Aadhaar and PAN cards, via email to the address provided (doctordineshkullar@gmail.com).

The scammers then requested various payments from Raghuvaran. Initially, they asked for Rs 8,000 for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and registration fee. Later, they instructed him to pay Rs 20,000 to purchase a code, followed by an additional Rs 85,000 to operate the code.

On March 2, the fraudsters asked Raghuvaran to pay Rs 5 lakh for tax clearance so that the funds could be transferred to his account. However, Raghuvaran’s suspicions were raised when a woman, claiming to be an employee of the State Bank of India, asked him to transfer Rs 7.6 lakh to obtain an anti-drug and terrorist clearance form.

Realizing something was amiss, Raghuvaran decided not to make the payment. He sought advice from his boss and friends, who confirmed that he had fallen victim to a scam. They advised him to immediately file a police complaint.

Raghuvaran, who had intended to use the money to pay his car’s EMI, settle credit card debts, and resolve other financial issues, stated that he was unaware that selling kidneys to strangers is illegal.

A case has been registered under the Information Technology Act and IPC Section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property). The scammers’ bank accounts have been frozen as part of the investigation.
