In a recent incident in Ahmedabad, a satellite trader was duped of Rs 14 lakh in an elaborate angadia trap. The trader fell victim to a sophisticated scheme where he was approached by individuals posing as angadias, traditional couriers known for their trustworthiness in handling large sums of money and valuable goods. The fraudsters gained the trader’s confidence and convinced him to hand over the cash for safekeeping and transportation. However, the con artists switched the bag containing the money with a similar-looking bag filled with papers. By the time the trader realized he had been swindled, the fraudsters had disappeared with his hard-earned money. The police have launched an investigation into the matter, but the chances of recovering the stolen funds are slim. This incident serves as a warning to all traders and business owners to exercise caution when dealing with unfamiliar angadias or courier services to avoid falling prey to such scams. It is crucial to verify the credentials and reputation of any service provider before entrusting them with valuable assets. Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities to prevent such financial frauds from reoccurring in the future.
