Insurance mis-selling in the name of Tower installation
You get a call that your area has been selected for installation of Tower and you will get a regular monthly income!! Interesting!!
There is no investment required just your space and for security’s sake, you need to buy a few insurances policy which is a very small investment considering the long-term monthly income you will be promised.
The target of such fraud is generally retired people who have a retirement fund and are looking for some regular income for their future. They can also be small-time business people or simple housewives.
The telecaller will offer you the installation of a Tower in your area. They will show you the documents and will share the requirement of buying an insurance policy for security and mortgage. They will generally talk about the installation of towers for Jio/Airtel and will sell a Reliance Life Insurance policy.
The telecaller may ask you to buy multiple policies of a few other companies in name of GST and service charges.
You are excited about the offer and you are told not to share any information with the Insurance company as telecommunication and insurance companies are different
Expecting a good monthly income, you fell into a trap and agree to what is being told by the telecallers.
