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. “

Offer was very good and Ashok agreed to buy policy of Rs 50000. Documents were shared and Ashok was sent a payment link where Ashok transferred Rs 50000. As link was sent by Greed Insurance Company, Ashok never doubted.
