A heartbreaking story from Jaipur, India, shows how dangerous crypto scams can be — not just for your money, but for your life.
Aditya Sharma, a 24-year-old who worked hard to support his family, fell victim to a fake Bitcoin scheme. He thought he was investing to grow his savings. Instead, he lost everything — and saw no way out.
🕯️ What Happened?
🔹 Aditya was trapped in a scam promising big profits in Bitcoin
🔹 He lost all the money in his bank account
🔹 He left a final message on his phone, apologizing to his family
🔹 Then he ended his life by setting himself on fire and jumping from his building
“I made a terrible mistake… I can’t face you all anymore.”
📢 This Isn’t Just a Crypto Problem — It’s a Human One
Bitcoin didn’t cause this — but scammers using Bitcoin as bait did.
India has one of the highest crypto adoption rates, but many people don’t know how to spot scams. Fraud cases are rising fast, especially among young people under 30
🚨 What to Watch For: Scam Red Flags
❌ “Guaranteed returns” — no investment is risk-free
❌ Pressure to invest quickly — scammers want you to act without thinking
❌ Hidden platforms — always double-check websites and reviews
