- The scam unfolded through enticing messages on a Telegram channel, leading Ankit to invest progressively larger amounts.
"In a distressing turn of events, Ankit Chaudhary, an engineer associated with a well-known company, became a victim of a cryptocurrency scam, resulting in a loss of approximately ₹12 lakh. According to his statement, he received enticing messages on a Telegram channel, encouraging him to invest in cryptocurrency.
Initially investing 10 thousand, Ankit witnessed returns of 15 thousand, building his confidence in the investment. Encouraged by the apparent success, he proceeded to invest larger amounts, ultimately totaling 12 lakhs. However, to his dismay, the promised returns were not realized.
