New Delhi — A bizarre case of online fraud has surfaced in Pune, Maharashtra, where a contractor was duped after responding to a social media advertisement that promised ₹2.5 million (25 lakh Indian rupees) to any man willing to impregnate a woman.

In the viral video advertisement, a woman says, “I want a man who can make me a mother. He may be educated or uneducated, fair or dark, from any caste—it doesn’t matter to me.”
After watching the video, the contractor called the number mentioned. A man answering the call introduced himself as an assistant from ‘Pregnant Job Firm’ and began demanding money under various pretexts.
Initially, he asked for a fee to make an identity card, followed by multiple “processing charges.” Over several weeks—from early September to October 23—the victim transferred a total of ₹1.1 million (11 lakh) but never received the promised “opportunity.”
When the contractor tried to follow up, he discovered his number had been blocked. Realizing he had been scammed, he filed a fraud complaint with the police.
Police have launched an investigation into the case but have not disclosed the victim’s identity. Authorities said such cyber frauds through social media are becoming increasingly common in India.
