Noida man loses Rs 6.5 crore while attempting to find love online
A Noida man's adventure to find love online left him losing Rs. 6.5 crore after the woman he met on a dating app asked him to invest in a trading app.
The man was identified as Daljit Singh.
A businessman by profession, Singh resides in Noida's Sector 36.
He filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police on Wednesday when he alleged that he woman had lured him to invest by promising that he would earn a profit even without having previous knowledge.
According to Daljit's complaint, he met the woman, Anita Chauhan, on a dating app back in December 2024, reported India Today.
Singh initially booked Rs 24,000 in profits on an initial investment of Rs 3.2 lakh after he was persuaded by Chauhan to invest in the app.
Encouraged by this, Daljit claimed that he had transferred Rs 6.52 crore to multiple bank accounts, some of which were taken as a loan, the news channel reported.
He started to face troubles when he attempted to withdraw funds from the trading platforms, SpreadMKT and Sprecdex.cc.
Singh became suspicious when the app demanded 30 per cent security fee and an additional exchange service fee of Rs 61 lakh.
He shared details of his transactions and the contact information of Chauhan.
According to reports, Chauhan's dating app profile was later found to be fake.
Police are now trying to gather information on the accounts to which the money was transferred, reported NDTV.
