Hyderabad police are warning residents, especially women, about online scams that offer a “rent a boyfriend” or “personal companion.” Fraudsters advertise these services through social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Telegram, using attractive promotional language to draw in victims.
Police say the scheme operates through fake advertisements and likely related messaging to extract information or money from people responding to the posts. The warning highlights that these advertisements are not genuine and urges the public to be cautious when engaging with such offers online.
Across the coverage, the emphasis is on the same core concern: scammers use mainstream social platforms to advertise the service, and authorities are alerting users to recognize and avoid the fraud. The reports focus less on specific arrests or case details and more on prevention and public awareness.
