Pune Doctor Loses Over ₹12 Crore in Online Share Market Investment Fraud
A 75-year-old medical practitioner was duped of Rs 12.31 crore in an online share trading scam with fraudsters allegedly coercing him into making multiple investments, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, the victim received a message from an unidentified number in the last week of January containing a list of “recommended” stocks along with a link.
On clicking the link, he was added to a WhatsApp group where the administrators claimed to be senior executives of a global financial management firm. One of them also purportedly claimed to be an author on stock market dynamics, police said.
