On May 20, Sharma came to Kumar\u2019s shop in the evening and picked up groceries. At the time of payment, he requested to pay via Paytm and put Kumar\u2019s number on the app.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a notification on Sharma\u2019s phone that showed the payment was successful. He also forwarded a message about the payment to Kumar, who believed Sharma, but later found that he had been cheated of Rs 2,500\u201d said the DCP.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fgCKvXbS3g\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seminarsonly.com\/news\/https-shareworks-com-activate-how-do-i-activate-my-shareworks-account\/\">https:\/\/shareworks.com\/activate : How do I activate my Shareworks account?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;https:\/\/shareworks.com\/activate : How do I activate my Shareworks account?&#8221; &#8212; Seminarsonly.com\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seminarsonly.com\/news\/https-shareworks-com-activate-how-do-i-activate-my-shareworks-account\/embed\/#?secret=TkjSrS5Ck7#?secret=fgCKvXbS3g\" data-secret=\"fgCKvXbS3g\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>During the investigation, police found the accused used Spoof Paytm and entered Kumar\u2019s number on it.
