Salt Lake bizman loses 4 crore to crypto fraud after honey trap on social media
Kolkata: A 44-year-old businessman from Salt Lake was duped of Rs 3.8 crore after being lured into investing in a fake cryptocurrency platform by a woman he met on Facebook earlier this year.
According to the complaint lodged by Vikash Jhawar, a resident of AE Block in Salt Lake, he first got in touch with the woman, who introduced herself as Aadhya Gupta, on Facebook. After several days of interaction and conversations online, the woman suggested that Jhawar invest in a cryptocurrency platform promising unusually high returns.
