According to reports, a complaint was filed regarding the illegal transfer of Rs. 1,78,200. The cybercrime involved the victim being lured into an investment scam through a message on Telegram. The fraudsters initially offered the victim a chance to earn money by writing reviews. After the victim received a small payment for the initial task, they were persuaded to click on a link and invest a larger sum for higher returns. Unfortunately, upon investing Rs. 1,78,200, the fraudsters blocked the victim’s number.

Commendably, the Cyber Cell acted swiftly upon receiving the complaint. Their efforts resulted in successfully freezing the entire fraudulent amount. This prevented the victim from suffering any financial loss.
