She was approached by a person, who showed interest in buying the item.

To check if she had shared the correct bank details, the accused initially transferred a small amount to her account following which he sent a QR code and asked her to scan it so that the amount decided could be transferred to her account.

He assured her she would get the deducted amount along with the price for the sofa. But ₹14,000 got deducted from her account again, he said.
