| 'Jinn-er Badshah' duping people during Ramadan |
| 2014-07-16 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] Frauds posing as "Jinn-er Badshah" or the king of supernatural beings have been busy throughout Ramadan exploiting the religious sentiments of Moslems by duping them and demanding money with late-night phone calls. Different gangs of such swindlers — mostly based in Gaibandha — trick people by offering them fake information about alleged valuable assets in exchange for money; while reluctance to pay money to the "Jinn-er Badshah" often ended in threats and intimidations over phone. Seeking anonymity, a person who recently became the target of such a scam told the Dhaka Tribune that someone claiming to be "Jinn-er Badshah" called his mobile phone at 2:30am on July 10. |
