CHENNAI: To kill Monday blues, a bunch of friends decided to visit a famous restaurant in T Nagar for lunch. Mindful of the Covid restrictions, they dialled the phone number listed on the restaurant’s Google page and asked if a table was available. They then had no idea that they were falling for a brand new variant of the cash transfer con job.
“Someone took the call and said that he would call us from another number. Later, he called from another number and asked us to fill out an online form, claiming that the government had ordered all restaurants to store details of their customers,” said Kaviya EB (24), a techie from Chennai.
