Advertisements can be misleading and can lead to a lot of losses as well. A recent incident which happened with a B.Sc student in Chandigarh is somewhat the same where the student lost a near about amount of Rs. 4 lakhs in order to become a gigolo and thus earn an amount of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 50,000 on an everyday basis.
The ‘friendship club’ in which the student was trying to get enrolled in was run by a group of fraud people who asked him to pay various amounts in respect to the membership fees, the cost of the medical tests which were supposed to be undergone as well as the security deposits and much more. The total added up forming an amount of Rs. 3.8 lakhs approximately. The Chandigarh student did not have the amount to be paid so he borrowed it from his friends and after receiving the money from him, the group of people flew and subsequently stopped taking his calls. This was when the student approached the cops and they took action against the same.

He received a call sometime, a week later by a man named Arjun. Further, he was given details of the ‘friendship club’ that high profile women, as well as models and the college going girls, were a part of the group and he could earn a good amount of money by befriending the group members.
He was assured of the privacy of his personal life and when he made all the demanded payments, the group of people stop taking his calls and then he approached Chandigarh police in the month of June 2018. Chandigarh Cyber Cell Police as of now has arrested one person named Krishan Kumar from Kurukshetra who is in judicial custody.
