Mumbai: A nurse working at a private hospital in the city was allegedly cheated of Rs 1 lakh after she tried to purchase a dress online for Rs 299, police said. The nurse in her complaint said she came across an advertisement on Facebook offering dresses at just Rs 299, which she tried to buy. The person at the other end sought payment for the dress, but later “continued to extract money under various pretexts such as shipping charges and GPS charges,” the official said. The nurse told the police she was repeatedly assured that most of the money would be refunded and the order would be delivered.
