The IT engineer from Hinjewadi fell victim to scammers who approached her with a job offer where she simply liked YouTube videos

The frequency of online scams through various platforms such as WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook and international calls is increasing. Unfortunately, these scams lead to the loss of hard-earned money for many people. Now, a Pune IT engineer has lost a whopping Rs 49 lakh to online fraudsters by promising the victim a 30 percent return on investment.

According to a report by Pune Mirror, the incident took place between March 28 and April 28. A complaint was filed two months later. Snehasingh Hridaynarayan Singh (35), a resident of Hinjewadi, filed a report at Hinjewadi Police Station. Accordingly, a case has been registered against Adhuri Ganguly.

The IT engineer from Hinjewadi fell victim to scammers who approached her with a job offer where she simply liked YouTube videos. Police revealed that the victim received an attractive message on WhatsApp with a job offer promising her extra income by liking YouTube videos.

Initially, the woman who is an IT engineer got the payment of Rs 150 and Rs 350 by completing the tasks as assigned by the scammer. Once the victim started to trust the fraudster, the scam took a major turn and the woman was asked to invest some money for further tasks.

The fraudster had promised the victim a return of 30 percent on the amount invested. The victim then invested a total of Rs 49 lakh hoping to get a return of 30 percent, but that did not happen as the scammer never returned any amount. Later, the accused denied giving any returns on the paid-up capital and robbed the complainant of Rs 49 lakhs.

A case has been registered under Sections 419, 420 and 406 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Sections 33(c) and 66(d) of the IT Act. Hinjewadi Police continued to investigate the matter.

Similarly, a resident of Gurugram lost Rs 70 lakh after falling victim to a work from home scam where he was promised good returns in the form of commissions. According to a report from The Indian Express, the Gurgaon resident received a WhatsApp message that gave him the option to like videos and rate hotels.
