Online Investment Scam: A person should take any big decision only after thinking carefully. Often, when we get lured by something that looks attractive from outside, we end up doing something due to which we have to give up later. Something similar happened with a person from Chandigarh, who lost Rs 15 lakh in an investment scheme.

It is a matter of Chandigarh

Bhanu, a resident of Sector 14, first came to know about this scheme on June 3 through a telegram from a person named Prashant Shri. He claimed that he could help her earn money easily through a trading platform, where on an initial deposit of Rs 10,999, she would get returns of Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000 per day.

gradually increased trust

Bhanu could not stop himself after hearing about this tempting offer. He immediately transferred the money. The surprising thing was that he immediately got back the profit of Rs 15,000. He felt that the scheme had some merit. Now he kept investing money again and again because he was confident.

This continued for the next few weeks and Bhanu deposited Rs 15.17 lakh through transactions, but now when the turn came to get profits, the story changed.

This is how I realized I was a fraud.

When Bhanu asked for the money back, Rs 2.44 lakh was taken from her in the name of ‘verification fee’. Bhanu did not argue much because she felt that she was going to get a huge amount, so she paid the money. But this time also when the money did not come, Bhanu started feeling that there was something black in the pulses. The apps and links which earlier showed great returns, all turned out to be fake.

When Bhanu realized that she had been defrauded, she lodged a complaint at the Cyber ​​Crime Police Station in Sector 17. At present, the bank accounts used in the fraud are being traced. The culprits have not been found yet.
