A woman filed a complaint with the Thimphu Police recently after a suspected scammer using a fake Facebook account in her name cheated her friends and relatives of Nu 50,000. According to the woman, the suspect has sent messages to her friends and relatives asking for money for an emergency.

The 38-year-old woman knew about the scam when one of her relatives called her and informed her that the money she asked for was deposited in the account she supposedly sent. It was followed by another call from her friend who told her the same story. By the time she realised, the suspect had sent messages to all her close contacts asking them to transfer money into a different BOB account number. The reason the suspect gave out was that her old BOB account was not working.

The woman said that a total of Nu 50,000 was transferred to the suspect by her close contacts.

She reported the case to the police along with the account number used by the suspect to receive the money from her contacts.

According to the police, the account was frozen with permission from the court. The police have traced the account holder and are investigating the case.
