Pooja: “Yes, there is a scheme of Greed Insurance Company. You will have to take an insurance of Rs 50000 per year for 10 year. You will have life cover, tax benefit and loan of Rs 5 lakh. “

Pooja called once again next morning to introduce her Senior Arun.
Arun: Mr Ashok, we welcome you to our special scheme. Today you will receive a call from Agent Verification Department so do not discuss anything about loan because this scheme is not available with agent department. See agent get commission and in interest free scheme there is no commission. So just agree to all questions.

Shalini: Good morning Ashok Sir, I am calling from loan disburse department Your loan is processed however by mistake Greed Company has approved loan of Rs 10 lakh. So would you like to increase it to Rs 10 lakh or should I get it changed to Rs 5 lakh.
