Puttur, Aug 20: There are several instances where companies have taken money from innocent people by promising to double the money and then cheated the people.
A company named Eliya Construction and Builders has opened its office in Shiradi Udane village, which says investment made with them doubles in 28 days. The company also has acquired a trade licence from Shiradi gram panchayat. Since the last four months, Eliya construction and Builders is in existence. It is claiming that if anyone pays Rs 1 lac, their money will be doubled in 28 days.
The company's major target group is arecanut growers. There are many arecanut growers in Shiradi, Rekhya and Konaje. Now arecanut growers get good prices for arecanut. As the company has been targeting these arecanut growers, the day they come to know the growers have sold their arecanuts the agent starts visiting their houses duly offering them with promises to make their money double and then try to cheat innocent people.
Even the agents of this company receive better commission. Once the people deposit money within 10 days the commission money gets transferred to their respective accounts of the agent. It is said that nearly 200 people have deposited crores of money in this company.
There are no proper documentary evidence to show that the company's intentions are good and genuine. Even their website does not show any kind of information about this construction company.
