Possible fraud at this gem shop

I do not like to publicly name any establishment for being dishonest but this case in my opinion is unique to a certain extent.

Police begin probe into fraud by businessman
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, OCT 24
The Economic Offences Cell of Goa Police has begun investigating into a complaint filed by IDBI Bank of cheating and fraud against one businessman from Calangute.
According to the police, Milian D’Souza branch manager of IDBI Bank lodged a complaint with the Panjim police station few months back which has now been handed over to the Economic Offences Cell of Goa Police.
The complaint is against one Vinay Agarwal of Calangute for allegedly duping nine persons of approximately Rs 28 lakh through swipe card machine.
D’Souza in his complaint said that Vinay, who introduced himself as the proprietor of Tirupati Gems and Jewelry, Calangute opened an account with his bank in the name of his establishment. He also requested the bank for swipe card machines.
Further, the complainant says, through the swiping machines there were 16 transactions amounting to Rs 43,06,668.
“Out of the 16 customers, nine have complained that they have never transacted with the establishment,” the complaint says adding “the nine customers are duped of total around Rs 28 lakh.”
