So after holding a conversation to the person claiming to be the officer bearer demanded to acquire a loan amount of Rs.8.5 lacs. Similarly after a span of few days the company gave Ms Bhutia call and said that the loan amount that she have demanded for has been sanctioned but for that I need to provide Rs.17, 000/- to the company as processing fees, and the demanded amount to be deposited at the given bank account number: – 910020037635507.Further company told her that the loan have been financed by Maharashtra Bank. Acting upon the given information Ms Bhutia went to the Maharashtra bank to inquire about the same where the office staff informed that they do not provide any loan on request of third party and not that too in such rate of interest as the rate of interest they charge is not below 11-15% considering the type of loan. Speaking with the press Ms. Bhutia expressed that she was fortunate that she enquired before depositing the demanded amount enquired.But in the another instance a lady who underwent similar cheat under the same company where she deposited the amount of Rs.15, 000/- as demanded by the company had assured to provide loan thorough Indusind bank. After she deposited the money she has been inquiring of the loan to be sanctioned but the company asserts the loan is in process.Similarly, both has urged the local public not to blindfolded pay heed to such advertisement or any of such instances as it might be a cheat. But it is not the solution, as similar to these ladies there might be more citizen involved in such cheat and fraud.Courtesy: Sikkim Mail
