Hyderabad: Flipkart recruiter loses Rs 24.1 lakh in cyberfraud

HYDERABAD: In a chilling cybercrime case in Rachakonda, a Flipkart HR recruiter fell victim to a complex scam and lost Rs 24.1 lakh.

On June 1, Rushi, a 28-year-old Flipkart HR recruiter from Malkajgiri-Medchal District, joined a Telegram group called Carwale, which directed him to a website offering a scheme called ‘Carwale Car Quest Investment’. With a promise of 30% commission and the return of investment funds after completing a series of tasks, the victim was initially swayed by screenshots of alleged profits posted by other group members. He got convinced and invested a significant amount to perform the required tasks.
