Pune: A 47-year-old woman from Vallabhnagar in Pimpri lost Rs94.2 lakh to cybercrooks in an online share trading fraud between June and Aug 7. The woman filed a complaint with the Pimpri police on Tuesday.
Inspector Suhas Avhad of the Pimpri police said in June, the woman, who is a homemaker , came across an advertisement about investment in the stock market on the internet. “When she clicked the link, she was added to a group of investors on a mobile messenger app,” Avhad said. The officer said the woman was then promised a good profit if she invested in shares through them.
The crooks told the woman to download an app to monitor her investment and profit on it. "Believing them, the woman went on transferring amounts. She first exhausted all her bank balance and then sold her gold jewellery,” he said.
The woman could see that she earned a good profit. When she tried to withdraw her money, the crooks used to cite numerous reasons and demanded more money. “The woman borrowed money from her relatives and transferred it to the bank account numbers provided to her,” he said.
Avhad said between June and Aug 7, the woman transferred Rs 94.2 lakh to nine bank account numbers. "We have registered the case under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information and Technology Act," the officer said.
