Hundreds of Bangladeshi nationals cheated via online Chinese app
Dhaka: Hundreds of Bangladeshi people were cheated in the Rajshahi region of Bangladesh by opening an account number with a minimum of Tk 2000 in the hope that they will get dollars if they buy movie tickets on a Chinese app, media reports said.
Their account balance has become zero and they are disoriented after discovering the fraud by the Chinese app, reports ANI.
An office was opened at Siroil Colony in Rajshahi Nagar to carry out these activities but the office has also been locked after the fraud was revealed, reported V News as quoted by ANI.
Victims claimed they were cheated while using the app named ‘E-Movie’.
A man named Manik from Siroil Colony area of the city started promoting this app in Rajshahi, reported V News quoted ANI.
As per the rules, an account number has to be opened with a minimum of Tk 2,000 on the app. This money was to be used to buy movie tickets from different countries.
After buying the ticket, the profit was immediately transferred to the number of the account holder. But the money had to be converted into dollars to buy tickets, reported V News.
