A Ghaziabad man has alleged that he has duped for Rs 1.5 lakh on the pretext of a Paytm cashback offer. The victim, named Rajkumar Singh, has registered a complaint with the UP police accusing the online payment company.

Cases of people losing money via unverified offer calls are not a new phenomenon. However, in this case, the victim received a call where the person introduced himself as Paytm Vice-President.

The UP police have registered an FIR naming Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma, his brother and company's vice president Ajay Shekhar Sharma, other senior officials under IPC section 420, Section 66D of the IT Act.
