Thane trader duped of Rs 4.11 crore in elaborate online forex scam
Representative Image THANE: A 42-year-old garment trader from Manpada lost a staggering ₹4.11 crore to an organised online scam that promised massive returns through forex and options trading. According to the Cyber Crime Police, the elaborate racket played out over nearly four months. It began on March 18, 2025, when the trader received unsolicited WhatsApp messages from unknown individuals identifying themselves as 'Tracy Clark, Paul J. Detudor, and Cameron Shan.' Using multiple Indian and international mobile numbers, the suspects claimed they were representatives of a reputed global investment firm engaged in foreign exchange market trades. The conmen shared a link to what appeared to be a sophisticated online trading platform. 'Trusting their claims, the trader began investing in March and continued making payments through multiple bank transfers until July, eventually parting with ₹4.11 crore. From June 6 to July 10, the suspects allegedly stepped up their pressure, urging him to invest more to 'unlock' higher profit margins,' said a police officer quoting the complaint.
