Residents, especialy people of Indian origin across Ireland are being cautioned about Vamsi Narayana Gutta, a native of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, who orchestrated multiple scams targeting Indian nationals, particularly students. Gutta, who remains at large, is accused of duping over 50 individuals, amassing a sum close to 100,000 euros through fraudulent means.
Operating under various guises, Gutta purportedly solicited funds from unsuspecting victims by offering accommodation services for incoming Indian students planning to study in Ireland. He solicited through social media channels, with victims transferring money into Gutta’s bank accounts in India.We have traced instances where funds were funneled into accounts belonging to his relatives.
Further Gutta exploited job-seeking individuals by falsely promising employment opportunities at reputable institutions such as St. Vincent’s Hospital and the Health Service Executive (HSE). Additionally, he purportedly solicited urgent financial assistance under the pretext of releasing a seized vehicle, purportedly by the Garda. Victims were provided fabricated proof of transactions, falsely assuring them of impending reimbursements for their contributions.
In a bid to establish credibility, Gutta provided copies of his passport and Irish Residence Permit (IRP) to potential victims. Despite efforts to cover his tracks, Gutta has since removed a post on Facebook, admitting to his wrongdoing, though his whereabouts remain unknown.
Irish Indian Chronicle urge anyone who may have been targeted or possesses information regarding Gutta’s activities to come forward. Individuals are advised to exercise caution and refrain from engaging with Gutta should he attempt to make contact. Anyone affected or possessing relevant information is encouraged to report details via email. reportscammer95@yahoo.com
