An Indian businessman lost a staggering ₹1.92 crore ($221k) after falling victim to a fake crypto investment scheme that started with a simple friend request on Facebook. 😱💔
The scam unfolded as the victim was lured by a woman claiming to be involved in a gym equipment business in Dubai and Mumbai. After building trust, she introduced him to a "lucrative" crypto platform, promising high returns. 💸 However, after multiple investments, the businessman was hit with a 20% upfront tax fee when attempting to withdraw his funds—only to realize it was all a scam. 💔
🔴 Red Flags to Watch Out For:
Unsolicited investment opportunities on social media.
Untraceable "high-ranking" connections to add credibility.
Hidden fees or taxes when trying to withdraw funds.
