On a typical morning in September 2020, Tribhuvan, a day laborer from the Maharashtra settlement of Umari, signed on to Facebook. He was scrolling throughout his page when he noticed an enticing ad for huge discounts on shoes, belts, and sunglasses.
The 30-year-old twelfth-pass has been working odd jobs at farms, performing carpentry and masonry. He had to look for work quickly because of the pandemic.
He was taken to Marya Studio's Facebook page, the business that was running the advertisement and offering the products, after he clicked on the ad. He came upon a pair of Rs 599 Nike shoes. Tribhuvan had been wanting to buy a pair of shoes for a time, but his money were running out. He later purchases goods from FRAUDSTERS instead of Facebook.
