Money trap: 40% cyber fraud cases this year came as investment bait
Gurgaon: The city appears to have become a fertile ground for cybercriminals preying on people's hunger to earn more and the risk appetite they have. Investment fraud has emerged as the most common cybercrime, accounting for nearly 40% of all online fraud cases reported in the city. It has ensnared thousands, from tech professionals to homemakers and retirees, luring them into fake investment schemes with promises of quick, high returns. The result is often devastation, leaving those who have been targeted chasing shadows and grappling with the loss of their hard-earned money. The city's cyber police cell has registered over 16,000 complaints in the first half of 2025, with 40% cases linked to investment fraud. ACP (cybercrime) Priyanshu Diwan said 1,300 fraudsters were arrested in the first half of this year, up from around 700 in the same period in 2024. "Increased public awareness has helped reduce total financial fraud losses from Rs 155 crore in 2024 to Rs 80 crore in the current year," he said.

Often operating through networks that are run from foreign shores, they bait targets with fraudulent stock trading apps, fake cryptocurrency platforms, or get-rich-quick schemes disseminated through Telegram and WhatsApp groups. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Initially, victims are shown small, fabricated profits to build trust by cyber cons. Once convinced, they are encouraged to invest large sums, only to find the websites vanish, contacts go silent and their money gone without a trace. A case in point is a 57-year-old private employee from Sector 23, who was added to a WhatsApp group in Sept 2024. The group, comprising 56 members, was formed to give lessons on stock market investment. By Oct, he had downloaded an app and deposited Rs 1.3 crore into various bank accounts provided by the fraudsters. When he attempted to withdraw the money, he was asked to transfer an additional Rs 20 lakh as "investor tax". The moment he stopped transferring money, the fraudsters stopped attending calls. In another instance, a chartered accountant's daughter from Faridabad was conned of Rs 7.6 crore via a Facebook link promising lucrative stock market returns. Despite police efforts, which led to the arrest of 16 people across multiple cities, the financial losses continue to mount. Central to these scams is use of mule accounts — legitimate bank accounts rented or sold for a fee — which help funnel defrauded money and park it. Over 40% of those arrested in cyber fraud cases this year, according to cyber police, were found to have provided their bank accounts to criminals in exchange for cash or commissions. "The network of mule accounts is the lifeline of these fraud networks, enabling fraudsters to move money and hide their tracks," said ACP Diwan. The complexity of dismantling these networks lies in the rapid transfer of money through multiple accounts, conversion to cryptocurrency, and movement abroad, a police officer said. "Some of the mule account holders have even travelled to countries like Dubai and Cambodia to sell information on dozens of their accounts for hefty sums," he added. Police investigations have revealed that fraudsters contact potential mule account providers via messaging apps, offering money in exchange for account details, making money recovery and tracking exceedingly difficult. Police investigations have found that fraudsters pay commissions ranging from Rs 30,000 to Rs 2 lakh in exchange for handing over access to their bank accounts. Many mule account holders, according to police, claim ignorance about larger fraud operations. "Some said they were told their accounts would be used for business purposes or foreign remittances, while others look the other way, tempted by the promise of quick money," said the police officer. ACP Diwan said the cyber police are working extensively to dismantle the mule account network. "Without these accounts, fraudsters would struggle to operate. This year alone, more than 400 suspects have been arrested for providing accounts to criminals," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Morbi businessman caught in web of losses, betrayal ends life
Rajkot:A 42-year-old businessman from Morbi died by suicide on Monday, allegedly after being trapped in a vicious web of financial losses and extortion, including threats of a false rape case by a woman he was in a relationship with. On the complaint lodged by deceased Ashok Padaliya's brother-in-law Prakash, the A-division police booked his partners - Amit Charola, Bhavesh Vidhja, Bipin Detroja, Manoj Sanandia, the woman Manisha Gohil and one Archit Mehta. Ashok left a suicide note naming the six. FIR states that around seven years ago, Ashok had leased a ceramics factory on Laghdirpur Road in Morbi for a monthly rent of Rs nine lakh. Amit, Bhavesh, Bipin, and Manoj joined as partners. Ashok was responsible for purchasing raw materials for the factory, while Bipin handled the accounts. Profits and losses were shared equally among the partners. When the business began incurring losses, Ashok was tasked with arranging funds. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Ashok's father fell ill which required personal attention. Taking advantage of the situation, the four partners ordered unrelated raw material in Ashok's name from various traders and sold the factory's tile production. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors are going crazy for these comfy, stylish, easy-on shoes Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo They equally divided the proceeds but not give Ashok his share. After Ashok's father's death, he discovered the factory was closed. Upon questioning his partners about the raw materials and production, they claimed that the factory had incurred huge losses due to the economic downturn, resulting in a debt of approximately Rs five crore, to be shared equally. Ashok requested his partners to pay their share of the debt so he could do the same, but they insisted he first cover their share, promising to repay him later. Consequently, Ashok sold his land and property to pay off Rs 4.37 crore. Despite repeated requests for repayment, his partners evaded him and eventually threatened him, leaving Ashok in constant distress. Around the same time, Ashok developed a romantic relationship with Manisha from Ahmedabad and frequently visited her. Meanwhile, Manisha came into contact with Archit from Gandhinagar, and the duo together extracted nearly Rs 70 lakh from him under various pretexts. The complaint states that Archit then threatened Ashok via WhatsApp calls from Manisha's phone, warning him that his family would be harmed if he did not pay more money. A few days before the incident, Ashok asked for Rs 2 lakh from his brother, stating that he would be forced to consume poison if he did not receive the money. Ashok told him that Manisha had called him to meet in Junagadh where she and Archit demanded Rs 25 lakh, threatening to implicate him in a rape case if he did not comply. On Aug 11, Ashok consumed poison and died during treatment in the Morbi govt hospital. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Housewife in Hyderabad loses Rs 1.52 crore in investment fraud via mobile app
HYDERABAD: A 45-year-old woman from the city lost Rs 1.52 crore in an investment fraud involving a mobile application. The woman, a master's degree holder and currently a housewife, told police she was added to a WhatsApp group where discussions were held on investments in upper circuit stocks and mutual funds. She opened an account through a link shared in the group and began investing in upper circuit stocks, SME/mainboard IPOs and mutual funds. She was allotted fake shares in large quantities and persuaded to invest further. When she attempted a partial withdrawal, she was asked to pay a 10% service fee as commission. Even after paying, her withdrawal was blocked on the pretext that her account number was 'jumbled'. She was then asked to pay again. Suspecting fraud, she realised the group was impersonating the Anand Rathi Private Client Group. Between June 6 and July 31, she had transferred a total of `1.52 crore. 'Finally, I came to know they created a forged mobile app and asked me to invest through it,' she said in her complaint.
