Crypto Imposter Dupes Indian Engineer of $60k<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A cybercriminal<\/a> from China who said he was a crypto analyst from China tricked an engineer from Mumbai out of Rs 50.40 lakh. On October 29, an FIR was filed with the cyber police station for the west region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engineer is 42 years old and lives in Andheri. On August 26, he got a message on WhatsApp<\/a> from someone pretending to be a Chinese woman. “Are you Mr. Desai Sharma from Travel India?” read the message. The person who got the message told her that he wasn't and that she was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The con artist said she lived in Hong Kong when she wasn't. She said her name was Zhang Yami and that she was a cryptocurrency analyst for JP Morgan. Then she started talking to him, and they became “good friends.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told him that the “People's Bank of China and J.P. Morgan” were investing in DCEP crypto coins and that if he bought crypto coins<\/a>, he would get 3\u201310% interest every day. Then she sent the complainant a fake link and told them to get the Yandex<\/a> browser and open the link. He did what was told and put $500 into the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The person who filed the complaint made a good profit on his first investment and was tricked. From September 2 to September 16, he put more than $41,000 into the stock market. He tried to get money out of the bank but couldn't. Then he talked to someone from “customer care of the company,” who told him to pay 30% tax. He paid more than $17,000, but he still couldn't get his money. He was told he had to pay another 10% to get his money. This time, he knew he was being tricked and went to the cyber police to report it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
