Today, Hyderabad CCS police have arrested Gharana fraudster Syed Samiruddin (25) who looted crores of rupees by claiming to provide employment to young women and men to digitize old books and ancient texts. Syed Samiruddin from Rajendranagar Vattepally started Digital India Private Limited last year. He set up another office in Banjara Hills and started operations. Through this American project, he advertised part-time job opportunities to digitize national and international old books. He hopes that he can earn Rs.1-5 lakh per month in his spare time while staying at home. A man named Amitsharma campaigned in Telangana, North India.
Scam was done by certain conditions such as the pages of the books should be scanned with the help of dual scanner and handed over to the institution. The more pages in books with thousands of pages are scanned, the more profit is made. He said that he will pay Rs.5 per page. He imposed certain conditions to collect advance. He decided to pay the advance for 10 thousand pages. He said that the money paid by the candidates will be returned after the completion of the work. Youth and housewives from middle class families competed with the intention of earning money from work from home. Advances were paid and more books were scanned and sent. 700 people deposited Rs.30 crores. The victims found themselves cheated as the salary was not paid even after months and the advance was not taken. A businessman from Khammam district paid Rs.5 lakhs as an advance. After 6 months, when he asked for money, he did not get any answer from there. Realizing that he was cheated, the victim lodged a complaint with the city CCS police. A case was registered on 6th of last month. CCS ACP S.V.Harikrishna headed by SSI M.Krishna’s team took up the investigation and arrested the accused on Wednesday and sent him to judicial remand.
Many people paid lakhs in advance, hoping to receive a lump sum of money at once. A housewife from Banjara Hills paid Rs.9 lakhs. Friends and relatives are also included as members. Knowing that this was a fraud, they put pressure on the housewife to return their money. Many people belonging to middle class families pledged their jewellery and took loans and paid lakhs of rupees in the hope of getting employment. They are worried about whether they will get back the money they have lost.
