  "account": "A woman from Indore, Iti Jain, has lost ₹10.08 lakh to a fake part-time job scam. Iti, also known as Iti Jain, spotted an attractive job posting on Instagram and was persuaded to take part by promises of high commissions. Upon initial contact, she was directed to a Telegram page under the handle Lavanya Anatt, posing as an NSE receptionist. The fraudsters asked Iti to rate hotels and restaurants in exchange for commissions, gathering her personal and bank details. Initially, they paid her small amounts to build trust, crediting ₹3,900 and a ₹900 commission. Iti was then lured into transferring increasing sums of ₹25,000, ₹15,000, and ₹75,000 into specified accounts. Later, she was told her account was locked and demanded further payments to unlock her money and receive a promised 30% commission. In total, she transferred ₹10.08 lakh across multiple accounts before realizing she had been scammed. The Indore Police are now investigating the case, tracing the bank accounts and digital footprints involved.",
