But a Thiruvananthapuram housewife, whose account swelled to Rs 2.25 lakh within a year because of her son's business, is in deep trauma.
Reason: The business her son was doing was sleazy.
In a shocking case, a marine engineering student aged about 21 years has been found promising live nude shows of his mother for a price on the Internet.
The Kerala Police cyber cell said on Tuesday the student would log in to popular chat rooms, such as yahoo messenger, using his mother's name and offer live nude shows via web cam for Rs 100 to Rs 1,000.
He would use the banner 'Hot ladies from Kerala' and ask customers to deposit money online in his mother's account with a local bank.
He would leave cell phone numbers for contact, but never respond to phone calls from "desperate" customers. He would usually disappear from chat rooms after receiving an initial installment of Rs 100 or Rs 200.
Police suspect the student may have used his laptop camera to show footage of his unsuspecting mother to attract customers.
His business thrived for a year as no duped person dared complain for obvious reasons.
Most people cheated by the student belong to neighbouring states, particularly Tamil Nadu, as he only entered chat rooms populated by non-Keralites.
The matter came to light after the cyber cell received an anonymous call.
Police said the student initially tried to lure customers to deposit money in his account.
But when suspecting perverts did not yield, he persuaded his mother to open an account.
