Mumbai, January 7:  In a shocking incident of a fraud case, an online enquiry for a massage service, landed a 30-year-old man into trouble. After he refused to pay Rs 50,000 service, he saw his wife's photograph uploaded on a dating site, where she was mentioned as a sex worker. According to a Times of India report, the fraudster got the photo from his Facebook profile and used the morphed photo of his wife to extort money.
