More than 1000 people were duped in Ola scooty scam.

The DCP stated that, one of the victims had registered a complaint with the police on October 7 concerning an online scooty fraud – after which they started technical scrutiny and caught the offenders.

According to the police, two people in Bengaluru had created a fake website for Ola electric scooters. Allegedly, as soon as people used to upload their details on their websites, the two culprits shared the mobile numbers and other details of the victims with their gang members in other parts of the country.

Then, these gang members asked each victim to transfer around ₹60,000 to 70,000 in the guise of insurance money and transportation charges of the scooty, as per the information given by the police.
