Business News

A complaint has been registered by Apurva Patel, a resident of Vastral, with the Cyber Crime Cell of Ahmedabad, against an unknown individual regarding the matter..

Patel reported that he had received a message on Telegram from an unknown number in March. A young woman contacted him and sent a link, promising him of money if he completed a particular task.

Patel had deposited ₹10,000 initially and was then informed that he could withdraw ₹12,000 for the tasks completed. However, he was asked to deposit an additional ₹10,000 to maintain a minimum balance in his account after withdrawal.

Patel kept on completing tasks, but his account kept showing a negative balance. To balance that, Patel ended up depositing ₹25 lakh in 10 days, as advised by the scammers.

When Patel was unable to withdraw the money he deposited, he realised the scam.

The Cyber Crime Cell has registered the complaint, and an investigation has been initiated.
