Lucknow: Cyber fraudsters have conned a chartered accountant (CA) of Rs 1.93 crore by luring him into a cryptocurrency investment scheme. The victim, Shalabh Pandey, a resident of Vijayant Khand, Gomtinagar, told the police that the scam began with a Facebook friendship request from a woman named Bhavika Shetty. SHO Cyber Crime Police Station Brijesh Yadav confirmed that an FIR was registered under section 318 (4), 319(2), and 66D of the IT Act while investigations are underway, including collecting details of the bank accounts involved. According to the FIR filed at the Cyber Crime Police Station, the accused woman claimed she was planning to open a school and an old-age home in Kolkata and initially sought financial and tax consultancy from Pandey. "Over time, the conversation shifted to cryptocurrency investments, and Bhavika portrayed herself as an expert in the field, promising high returns," said the complainant in the FIR. "Influenced by her claims, the CA first invested Rs 50,000 via a WhatsApp-based portal named X-MEX. Soon, the online portfolio linked to the portal began showing profits and bonuses, building trust in the scheme. Encouraged by the gains, he transferred a total of Rs 1.92 crore over multiple transactions to 11 different bank accounts," said the SHO. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Trouble began when Pandey tried to withdraw the alleged profits.
