Fraudsters create fake ID in ACP name, loot people of lakhs in Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar: An anonymous scammer is allegedly attempting to defraud people and steal money by impersonating Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Zone-5 in Bhubaneswar, Sanjeev Satpathy.

The ACP stated on his Facebook page that he has received reports that someone who has started a false account using his picture and name is attempting to sell secondhand household items to other persons.

The scammer is posing as ACP Satpathy and convincing acquaintances to talk to someone who is in the Indian army and wants to sell his used household items after being transferred.

Some people have even transferred money to the fraudster, believing him to be the ACP, he said, asking people to disregard any such communication in messenger. People disregard such messages and avoid the fraudster.
