Matrimony fraud: Bengaluru bizman falls for invest & earn bait, bride-to-be flees with Rs 38.8L
Bengaluru: A 25-year-old businessman's search for love on a matrimonial website turned into a financial nightmare when he was conned out of a whopping Rs 38.8 lakh in an elaborate investment scam that was marked with fake video calls, a family of fraudsters, and promises of high returns. Sagar (name changed), who runs a pre-owned motorcycle business in east Bengaluru, thought he struck gold when a woman named Lakshmi Priya swiped right on his profile within minutes after he posted it on a website this March. Priya claimed to work with her uncle at a UK-based investment firm, and to make him trust her, she orchestrated a voice with a whole entourage of her family members, including a father, aunt, and an uncle named Srinivasa. "She sounded genuine, the whole setup looked like a real family ready for wedding," Sagar told East CEN Crime police. The two moved their conversation to WhatsApp after she shared her number (8897629918) on March 15. After several warm exchanges, she invited him for a video call on Ram Navami (April 6). That's when Sagar met her entire family, who even greenlit their future wedding and shared plans to visit Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, for marriage talks post May 15. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 전체임플란트 간단 뼈이식포함 300만원에 kimplant 더 알아보기 Undo But what seemed like a match made in heaven soon turned into a trap. Soon after, Priya pitched an amazing investment opportunity with her uncle's firm 'TRADE U' via a trading app named Bost Base. Sagar was lured in with the promise of big bucks, he started with a Rs 65,000 investment. As daily profits started showing up on the platform and a test withdrawal of Rs 5,000 worked flawlessly, he began investing more and more. Collectively, his multiple transactions crossed Rs 25 lakh. The returns, as shared by Priya, showed a dazzling Rs 1.4 crore as balance in his account. Then they told him that they were closing their trade signals and would send them for taxation. They told him to pay Rs 17.5 lakh as a tax amount and Rs 3.5 lakh service fee. He questioned the tax as he made an investment in their firm. They told him that as per the UK law, the investors should pay the taxes first and collect their profits and capital. He then spoke to Priya and informed her that he didn't have so much money. She told him she would pay Rs 5.3 lakh on his behalf and reduce the service tax and asked him to arrange the remaining Rs 13 lakh. Sagar borrowed from his friends and relatives and transferred the money to them. However, they stopped messaging him from May 27. When he tried to reach Priya on the phone, in vain. It was only then did he realise that he was scammed. "She brought her whole fake family to the scam party, this is a unique case," said an officer. "The victim was made to believe he was joining their family, but instead, he walked into a trap." Police have filed a case under the Information Technology Act and BNS Section 318 (cheating).

According to a complaint filed by Baig with East CEN Crime police, his account was hacked on June 5.

I realised it was a fraud and told him to stop. Then I got to know that he received the message from my WhatsApp number. It is not the case of crooks using a random number and putting my photo as a display picture," Baig told TOI. "Within a few minutes, my son got a call from a friend who also received a message asking for financial help. My son alerted me . Before we could take steps to stop the fraud, my grandson, who was coming to India from abroad, called me and said he received a message on WhatsApp in which I asked for Rs 85,000. I surrendered my sim card, and purchased a new one on the same number. Since we ensured all my contacts were aware of the hacking, none of them transferred the money," he said.
