Noida man loses ₹62L in crypto scam
A 46-year-old man was allegedly duped of ₹62.43 lakh in an online trading fraud by miscreants posing as international contacts, police said on Friday. Noida man loses ₹ 62L in crypto scam The complainant Ramjeet Singh, a resident of Raheda village in Greater Noida, came in contact with a woman named Miyongli on a social media platform, who claimed to be from China. The woman initially claimed to be 36 years old and a native of China. On September 26, 2024, she informed Singh that she worked for an online store, earning $1,000 daily by completing orders. As per the FIR filed at the Cyber Crime police station in Noida, the woman explained a process wherein users make money in cryptocurrency payments. In return, the store wallet would reflect the order value with an added 20% profit. She further claimed that referrers earned 10% commission on each order. After a month, Singh said he got persuaded and created an account on the platform the woman had suggested. He also made payments with the platform. Later, he was directed to a second platform, allegedly another version of the same store. Between October 20, 2024 and March 22, 2025, Singh transferred substantial amounts to various bank accounts in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, and Rajasthan, and UPI addresses provided by the fraudsters, he informed police. Singh, in his complaint, claimed that he completed orders worth $72,118 (equivalent to ₹6,243,500), expecting returns through the store wallet. However, when he attempted to withdraw the earnings, he was asked to pay additional 'taxes' and 'processing fees,' amounting to $10,000. The woman went unreachable after this, he told police. After he realised the fraud, he first filed a complaint to the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP)and has now sought action from the police, stating that the money was borrowed via loans and that he is under severe mental and financial stress. Based on the complaint, a case has been registered against unknown persons under Section 318(4) and 319(2)- related to cheating, dishonest inducement, and fraudulent acts of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2008. 'We have registered an FIR based on the victim's complaint and have begun an investigation. Preliminary findings suggest the use of cryptocurrency platforms and multiple bank accounts across different states. Efforts are underway to trace the beneficiaries and identify the network involved,' said Ranjeet Kumar Singh, SHO, Cyber Crime police station, Noida.

Duo from Gujarat arrested in stock trading fraud
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Cyber Crime police have apprehended two individuals from Gujarat in connection with a stock trading fraud case. The arrests were made as part of an investigation into a scam that allegedly defrauded a victim of over Rs 67 lakh. Police identified the arrested individuals as Mehulbhai Devrajbhai Ramani, aged 37, described as an account supplier, and Gondaliya Hardik Kumar Mukeshbhai, aged 26, identified as an account holder. Authorities seized net cash of Rs 1 lakh from the accused. According to police reports, the victim, a 57-year-old private employee residing in Hyderabad, initially received WhatsApp messages offering stock trading tips. Subsequently, he was directly added to a WhatsApp group named 'SMC 912'. Within this group, he was advised to consult with a customer care representative who purportedly facilitated all fraudulent transactions. Believing their claims, the victim proceeded to deposit a substantial amount totalling Rs 67,60,049. Following the victim's complaint, the police registered a case under Sections 66 C, 66 D of the IT Act, and Sections 111(2)(B), 318(4), 319(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The Cyber Crime police stated that the accused contacted victims through WhatsApp, posing as a stock trading advisory service. They then provided 'mule' bank accounts and deceived victims into depositing money into these accounts under the guise of trading. The same modus operandi was employed to collect funds from numerous unsuspecting individuals. After the transactions were completed, the accused blocked the victims' contacts and ceased responding to their calls and messages. The Cyber Crime department has issued a public advisory, urging people to be wary of fake investment schemes promoted on social media platforms such as Telegram, WhatsApp, X, Instagram, and Facebook, which promise high returns with minimal risk. They emphasised the importance of never trusting promises of exorbitant returns or fabricated profit screenshots. Citizens are advised not to fall prey to such scams and to always use SEBI-approved applications for investment purposes, consulting SEBI-registered financial advisors before committing any funds. Furthermore, the police stressed the importance of immediately reporting suspicious transactions. Should an unauthorised transaction be noticed, a dispute should be raised with the bank without delay. In the unfortunate event of becoming a victim of cybercrime fraud, individuals are urged to dial 1930 or report the fraudulent activity immediately via the portal.
