As long as there are cheaters, there will be cheating happening all around us. Moreover, there is a lot of fraud happening in the real estate sector. Recently, a new type of fraud has emerged in this sector. A man pretended to be a builder and cheated many buyers. His daily routine is to take advance money from people by showing flats that are built by others and later disappear. Recently, two victims were cheated by him, and they approached the police. The police later arrested the accused.
The arrested person has been identified as Sumit Dubey, 30.
