โžก๏ธ A civil contractor from India, Ramesh, lost around INR 1.67 crore (~$200,000) after falling for a crypto romance scam that started on a matrimonial website.

๐Ÿ”น How it started:

Ramesh matched with a woman named Priyanka who claimed to work at a crypto trading firm in Singapore. They began chatting on WhatsApp from April 11.

๐Ÿ”น Fake profits to gain trust:

At first, Ramesh sent INR 50,000 (~$583) and saw an instant fake profit of about INR 8,300 (~$100) in the app. Encouraged by these fake gains, he kept sending bigger amounts via bank transfers and UPI payments.

๐Ÿ”น Total damage:

Between April and June, Ramesh deposited a total of INR 1.67 crore (~$200,000). But when he tried to withdraw, the app froze his wallet and demanded an extra INR 25 lakh (~$29,000) to unlock the funds.

๐Ÿ”น Scammer vanished:

When Ramesh refused to pay the extra charge, the scammer blocked him on WhatsApp and switched off the number.

๐Ÿšจ Aftermath:

Ramesh reported the case to Cyberabad Police, who are now investigating multiple bank accounts and phone numbers tied to the scam. A formal case has been filed under multiple fraud and cybercrime charges.

๐Ÿ“ข Police warning:

Authorities warn that social media and dating platforms have become key tools for cybercriminals to trap victims, especially through fake crypto apps promising quick profits.

โœ… Lesson:

If someone you meet online pushes you to invest in crypto through unknown apps or websites โ€” especially with promises of big returns โ€” itโ€™s almost always a scam. Stay cautious and verify before you invest.
