According to police, the contractor came across an online ad featuring a woman’s picture and the caption: “I am looking for a man who can get me pregnant.” Curious, he clicked on the link — a move that set an entire scam operation into motion.
Soon after, the contractor received a video of a woman claiming she wanted to be impregnated and urging him to join the service. Along with the video came a link that redirected him to a group posing as representatives of an alleged “All India Pregnant Job Service.”
The fraudsters then contacted him directly, offering several “packages” and assuring him that all arrangements would be made discreetly. They demanded multiple payments — including registration fees, membership charges, and processing costs — all under the pretext of maintaining confidentiality.
Over time, the victim transferred around ₹11 lakh through online transactions before realizing he had been duped. He later filed a complaint at the local police station.
Pune Senior Police Inspector Chandrashekhar Rawat confirmed that a case has been registered and investigations are underway. “The accused created a fake service portal and used videos and social media ads to lure victims. We are checking if this case is connected to the so-called ‘pregnant job service’ or a larger national-level playboy service racket,” he said.
Police have urged citizens to stay alert against such online scams that exploit personal curiosity and emotions. They advised the public to avoid clicking on suspicious ads or sharing personal information or money with unknown contacts online.
Authorities are now tracing the digital trail of payments and social media links used in the operation, suspecting that similar scams could be targeting individuals across different parts of India.
