Crypto fraud: Techie duped of over Rs 87L by woman he met on matrimonial site
1 2 3 Hyderabad: A 28-year-old software professional from Mancherial lost Rs 87.6 lakh to fraudsters posing as a prospective bride on an online matrimony platform. They lured him into a fake cryptocurrency investment scheme. In his complaint to Telangana Cyber Security Bureau's (TGCSB) Ramagundam police station, the victim, who is an associate manager with a Bengaluru-based firm, stated that he had created an account on Bharat Matrimony two years ago. On Jan 18, he received a match request from another user claiming to be 'Nanditha Reddy' from Vijayawada. The two soon began communicating on WhatsApp. According to the complainant, Nanditha told him that she had moved to Malaysia and was an expert in cryptocurrency trading. She introduced him to a crypto investment platform and persuaded him to invest, citing exclusive professional access. The victim began investing from Feb 25 by transferring money to various bank accounts listed on the crypto investment portal. On March 26, he was permitted to withdraw Rs 2 lakh, which bolstered his confidence. By June 6, he had transferred a total of Rs 40.3 lakh as principal, plus an additional Rs 42.28 lakh towards 'taxes, channel fees, and verification charges,' in order to withdraw a profit of Rs 2 crore which was shown virtually on the website. However, when the site demanded more money to 'unblock' his account, he grew suspicious and approached Ramagundam police station on Thursday, reporting a total loss of Rs 87.6 lakh. The police registered a case under sections 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the BNS Act and section 66D of the IT Act.
