The victim who was robbed of more than 1.2 million birr said that many people are being cheated by wrong information saying that Shin is looking for workers in Ethiopia.
Since the sales of SHIN products have been decreasing recently, many are being deceived by saying that they do not need online workers in Ethiopia to help merchants increase the sales and improve the product level.
Mrs. Elham Mulugeta, the victim of this scam, expressed her complaint to Bisrat Radio and Television that they are losing their money. They informed us by message that there are many people who participate without affecting regular hours and that they can earn and work more than 3 thousand to 10 thousand birr every day.
Our complainant told Bisrat Radio and Television that there were many individuals and that she was talking to the men through an external phone number. After agreeing in a message that she would work in partnership with Shin, they opened her own account in another country and every time she deposited money, they added a certain amount to her until she deposited 5 thousand birr.
And she told us that she was getting money into her own account.
However, the fact that she was only able to deposit 6,200 birr into her own bank account at different times, and her own personal money was found in it. In addition, she deposited the money into the bank accounts of various individuals, and she deposited 26,840, 50,680, 63,23 birr into an account called Beza Yosef at different times, and into an account called Shambel Moghese.
155,800, 300,000 Birr and 300,000 Birr in the account of an individual named Ayob Zerfu, 300,000 Birr in the name of Alaazar Abraham, and 67,568 Birr in the name of an individual named Dawit Tesfaye, totaling 1,263,911 Birr at different times, but she has not been able to return the money.
Tebedai Elham Mulugeta told Basrat that when Ayob Zerfu called her father and asked him to return her money, he said there was no money and turned off the phone.
The victim, Elham Mulugeta, pointed out that many people are being cheated by this kind of act and after the money is deposited, they will ask them to confirm it by sending a photo on the Telegram channel they opened. As a result, there are more than 43 thousand followers on this Telegram channel, and she said that the community should be careful so that no one is cheated in the future.
