Over the course of three months, he transferred Rs 33.3 lakh to various bank accounts provided by them. The app showed he had earned over Rs 1 crore, but when he tried to withdraw the money, he was unable to do so.
In the Wakad case, the teacher lost Rs 13.4 lakh after being added to an investor group on a messaging app. He transferred the funds to different bank accounts before realizing he had been duped.
