This is how they cheat
Cyber thugs send tempting messages on Telegram or WhatsApp in the name of investing in share market, online trading app or IPO by luring people to earn more money in less time. People get tempted to click on the message and join the group of fake trading app or trading website. There, gangs of cyber thugs are already joined on WhatsApp, who spread the trap of cyber fraud and gain trust by sharing the screenshot of fake payment credit in WhatsApp group and tell them to invest more money. People invest small amount initially and the thugs gain trust by adding some money after some time and immediately transfer the money back to the victim's bank account. Then they lure them to invest lakhs of rupees. People get tempted to invest lakhs of rupees by believing them and transfer lakhs of rupees to the accounts of cyber thugs. Then the cyber thugs keep on getting the complainants to deposit money in their accounts by showing profits of lakhs in the accounts of dummy trading apps and when the complainant demands refund of the money then they block him and after swindling the entire amount they disappear by closing the trading app or trading website.
