A 45-year-old woman from Dombivili in the district was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.22 crore by two persons from the US on the pretext of marrying her, police said today.
The victim, in search of suitable match for her, took assistance from three private marriage websites, a police official said.
Through one of the websites, she got in touch with the main accused. He claimed that his relatives were hospitalised and he had suffered losses in his business. Then he asked her to deposit money in his different bank account from time to time in India, police said.
The victim was also made to fill application for the Green Card by the main accused, who later did not contact her.
After this, she got in touch with another person, who also duped her in similar fashion.
A case under relevant sections of IPC and IT Act has been registered in this regard against the duo and 35 others whose names were used to cheat her.
