Man scours Net for AI-based trading platform, loses 2.3 cr

Hyderabad: A 52-year-old businessman, who was looking for an artificial intelligence-based trading platform, was duped by a cyber fraudster of 2.30 crore. The incident took place under the Rachakonda police commissionerate limits. Police said that the victim first did a Google search for an AI-based trading platform. Subsequently, he was included in an unsolicited WhatsApp group 'Shoonya' allegedly administered by Sarvjeet Singh and his associate, Swetha. "The group provided stock recommendations, trading ideas, investment opportunities, and claimed to offer stock investment training. Unaware of any fraudulent intent, I trusted the group. After getting information about the AI-based platform, I downloaded an application shared via the link," the complaint told police. He first began investing a small amount, and by seeing the statement shown by the accused about the profits made by the investment, the victim invested more money in about 20 online transactions.
