Udupi: Doctor falls victim to online scam, loses Rs 8.79 lacs


Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (JD)

Udupi, Jun 19: Manipal-based Dr B G Subba has filed a complaint stating that on June 5, 2024, an individual named Ankush from New Delhi, claiming to be associated with OKX Exchange Digital Marketing Company, contacted him via the Telegram app. Ankush allegedly convinced Dr Subba that he could earn substantial amounts of money through various tasks. He provided 18 tasks, promising that Dr Subba would earn a profit of Rs 12,65,700.

To claim the promised profit, Dr Subba was instructed to transfer Rs 8,79,710 to the specified bank accounts. Following the instructions, on June 18, 2024, Dr Subba transferred Rs 5 lacs to a Federal Bank account (No. 17910100054544) and Rs 3,79,710 to an HDFC Bank account (No. 50100727534697) from his HDFC Bank account.

Subsequently, Ankush neither provided the promised profit nor returned the Rs 8,79,710, causing a financial loss to Dr Subba.

A case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station under crime number 45/2024, invoking Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

    I do not understand how educated people fall for such scams. Never invest in onlien calls when they promise high returns Its not possible Its very hard for cyber police to trace these fraudsters Many of them use fake numbers and cheat people Please do not click nay link that promise very high returns Its simply not possible There are fraudsters waiting in the dark to cheat people Another problem thats happening now is blackmailing using honeytrap technique Do not fall for such traps. Though many have lost money through honey trapping online only few complain about it Life is sometimes very nasty! Beware of these scamsters They are now present through out internet and we need to be very careful of such people online!

    Not even a fool, unless in an altered state of mind, would part with so much money in search of fast money; wonder from where he got his paper degrees from?

    Looks like this doctor got his degree from Feku University of Andha Bhakts. How come people from world's best known educational hub are getting hooked up to these feku groups. Can't understand what's this online task business. ????
