:Two fake club fraudsters were arrested here today for allegedly cheating around 2,000 persons of Rs nine crore under the pretext of offering them club and holiday membership, complimentary plot and other services, police said.
Shaik Khadar Basha and P Vijay Kumar set up 'Fortune Group of Estates and Services' in June 2017 here and cheated people through false promises like providing club membership, holiday, health, silver coin, complementary plot, passes to resorts and other facilities after collecting amounts from them and were earning wrongful gains, a police release said.
The duo, 'Managing Directors' of the firm,started a call centre at their office, from where executives used to call up people by informing them their company had organised a lucky draw in which they had won gifts like silver coin, holiday trip packages, passes to resorts and invited them with the families to attend a seminar and collect the gifts, it said.
Based on their calls, those who visited the hotels were convinced to take membership after making payments, the release said, adding that around 2,000 persons were allegedly cheated by the duo of Rs nine crore.
