Ho sakta hai genuine ho ya na ho, but ilaaj ke baad ka paisa kahan jayega? (Our charges are very high, and they were ready to pay. First of all, we don’t even do this kind of promotion. I was shocked. What kind of business is this? It may or may not be genuine, but where will the money collected after the treatment go?”
