Navi Mumbai: In a shocking turn of events, a 20-year-old man has been arrested by the cyber police team for allegedly defrauding a Navi Mumbai resident of approximately Rs 52 lakh. The victim fell prey to a scam where he was promised a source of income by completing prepaid tasks related to hotel booking ratings on a website.

The accused, identified as Mustaq Khan, set up a virtual ‘Personal Centre’ page on the website to display the complainant’s investment and profits. Between March 22 and April 11, the victim diligently completed prepaid tasks and ended up investing a total of Rs 52.87 lakh by transferring the money to various bank accounts provided by Khan.

The cyber crime officials sprang into action and managed to apprehend Khan from his residence in Mira Road. Inspector Vishal Pandir of the cyber police station revealed, “Upon registering an FIR of cheating, we immediately contacted the banks where the victim, an employee of the Adani Group, had transferred money. We successfully froze Rs 18 lakh. However, the remaining amount had been converted by the accused into USDT (a crypto currency pegged to US dollars) and transferred to his associate’s bank account in Dubai.”

The investigation further revealed that Khan’s location was tracked using advanced technical expertise, including tracking his mobile tower location and scrutinizing the details of the bank accounts where the victim had transferred money for investment in the fraudulent prepaid tasks.

The victim, a 41-year-old resident of Ghansoli, was initially lured into the scam after receiving a message from an individual named Poonam. The message offered lucrative prepaid tasks for rating hotel bookings with the promise of high returns. Little did the victim know that it was a well-orchestrated scheme to swindle him of his hard-earned money.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of exercising caution and due diligence when dealing with online transactions and investment opportunities. It is crucial for individuals to verify the authenticity of any offers or schemes before parting with their funds to avoid falling victim to such fraudulent activities.

As the cyber police continue to crack down on cyber criminals, it is imperative for the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities promptly. Together, we can work towards creating a safer digital environment for everyone.
