Thane: Tempted by the idea of ​​making fast money in a few days, a 30-year-old man from Kopri invested more than Rs 11.5 lakh on the online trading website, just to find it just fraud.
A Conman contacted the victim at WhatsApp on June 16 this year and introduced it to the trade website, police said.
“The victim was also told to connect his account to streamline the transfer of money,” said Mamta Dsouza, Senior Inspector at the Kopri Police Station.
The victim initially invested a small number, where withdrawal was minimally allowed to convince him that he qualified to benefit.
After this, he invested Rs 11.5 lakh for the next five days, and continued to check the website to see how much interest he had received.
In five days, he was satisfied with his income and tried to withdraw his money, only to realize that the website was closed and the money was lost.
Police Kopri enrolled his complaint under the IPC and it acted.
