In Noida, 10.40 lakh people were defrauded in the name of trading: training was given for investment, profits were shown, but when asked to withdraw, contact was severed.

A cyber scammer defrauded a person of ₹10.40 lakh by promising to make huge profits through online trading. The accused allegedly deposited money on a fake investment platform and, showing profit and balance on the screen, encouraged the victim to continue investing. When the victim attempted to withdraw the money, their request was either rejected or kept pending. A case has been registered on Monday and an investigation is underway. They were only able to withdraw ₹5,000.
