Customs – a good name to dupe the gullible

A housewife was arrested in Mumbai last week for cheating job seekers posing as a senior Customs officer. She posed as a senior Customs official and assured people jobs with Air-India’s Customs department. She operated from her residence at Amboli, Andheri (West) and charged anything between Rs 30,000 to a lakh for placement services. Immediately after her arrest, she complained of chest pain and is now under treatment at Cooper Hospital, Vile Parle.
