Greetings, Earthlings! A retired engineer, likely toasting marshmallows in his slippers, just got eviscerated by crypto crooks using a WhatsApp group named “531 DBS Stock Profit Growth Wealth Group.” Think it’s a support group for goldfish? Nope-just a scam so smooth it could’ve been a TikTok dance trend 🕺✨
- Retired engineer in Miyapur lost Rs 1.28 crore via a DBS crypto app that’s “fake” in all caps-proof that even fake apps know how to capitalize 😬📈
- Scammers let the guy withdraw Rs 5,000 like it’s a “free sample” of betrayal, then hit him with a 20% fee. Reverse psychology? More like reverse ethics 🤡💸
- Cybercrime cops, playing your favorite detectives in scrubs, remind you: don’t trust apps that smell like desperation and guaranteed returns 🚨👃
Authorities, ever the party poopers, are slapping warnings on crypto scams after this gem of a heist. A 65-year-old ex-engineer once fixing bridges suddenly fixated on crypto bridges to… nowhere.ICYMI: his wallet is now a haunted house 🏚️🕷️
Scams Using Fake Crypto Trading Apps (aka Your New BFF Thief)
Per the police, scammers added our victim to a WhatsApp clique called “531 DBS Stock Profit Growth Wealth Group.” Imagine this: “Hey, join this group for guaranteed profit! No strings attached!” Spoiler: the only thing attached is a handcuff 🧨👮♀️
The scammy duo-Professor “Fake Degree” Rajat Verma and Analyst “Bah Humbug” Meena Bhatt-convinced him to download an app on the domain ggtkss.cc. What’s in a name? Why trust? 🤔 Let’s just say this app’s track record is… uh… nonexistent.
The con started with a Rs 1 lakh investment, followed by a Ra5k “freebie” withdrawal to make it feel legit. Classic “you’ve won a prize” vibes-but instead of a car, it’s a freeze-frame of your money getting vaporized 💀💳
The victim deposited over 1.2 crore via UPI and IPOs between Nov 4-Dec 5. Turns out, those “exclusive opportunities” were just stages to gaslight him until he cried, “Feed me, my account is dead to me!” 😭🧾
When he tried to withdrawal, the 20% fee dropped like the emperor’s new clothes. And just like that, the digital door slammed shut. Poetic, right? 🚪💥
A cybercrime case was submitted under the “Big Bads of Bharatiya Nyaya” and IT Act. The real lesson? Curate your investments like you curate your Netflix queue-avoid the “cringe picks” about IPOs in WhatsApp groups. And if someone whispers, “Guaranteed returns,” scream, “WOLF!” 🐺🛑
Legal Jargon Jungle 🧾🔍
Cybercrime pros are yelling at everyone online: “VERIFY YOUR PLATFOMS!” Avoid the crypto conga line of “I’ll send you the links later.” Your “WhatsApp groupie” status is not a financial credential. Report scams before your next iced matcha latte ☕☕
