Dating Apps Scam: 46-Year-Old Businessman Duped Twice by 2 Women He Met on Different Dating Apps in Mumbai, Loses INR 2 Crore; Probe Launched

Mumbai, September 18:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Dating app scams are on the rise, and a recent case in Mumbai highlights the growing threat. A 46-year-old businessman was duped out of INR 2.14 crore by two women he met on different dating apps. The first woman, Carmen Anita, lured him into investing in cryptocurrency, while the second, Sharika Singh, persuaded him to put money into foreign exchange trading. Both promised substantial returns, but the investments turned out to be elaborate frauds.

As by the Times of India, the case began when the victim met Carmen Anita on a dating app earlier this year in March. Anita convinced him to invest in cryptocurrency trading, assuring him of significant returns. She provided a weblink via WhatsApp to create a trading account, and the businessman deposited INR슬롯 머신 사이트 추천17 lakh into a designated bank account. Initially, he saw a balance of USD 20,000 in his trading account, which further built his trust.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Tinder Dating Scam: Mumbai Police File FIR Against Fraudsters Who Duped Techie Allegedly in Collusion With Godfather Club in Andheri West.

Despite depositing an additional INR슬롯 머신 사이트 추천20.8 lakh, he could not access his money. As per the report, the situation escalated in April when the businessman encountered Sharika Singh on a different dating app. Singh encouraged him to invest in foreign exchange trading, sending him another weblink to set up an account.

Similar to the previous scam, Singh and her accomplices demanded more money to facilitate withdrawals, claiming a USD 35,000 capital gains tax and later a 12 per cent exchange fee. Despite depositing nearly INR슬롯 머신 사이트 추천28.6 lakh, he was unable to retrieve his funds. As reported by the Times of India, the businessman eventually realised he had been defrauded when neither platform allowed him to withdraw his investments.

He reported the scam to the Central Cyber Police Station in Worli, revealing that he had lost over INR슬롯 머신 사이트 추천1 crore in cryptocurrency and INR슬롯 머신 사이트 추천1.14 crore in foreign exchange investments.
