The victim befriended a woman named “Ritu Reddy” on Facebook, who claimed to be from Chennai.
She convinced him to invest in a trading site promising high USD returns — finalto-indus.com. 💻
Initial profits built trust, leading him to invest nearly ₹97 lakh raised through gold pledges and loans.
Later, withdrawals were blocked, and he was asked to pay another ₹52 lakh as an “exchange fee.”
He realised it was a fraud and filed a complaint with Rachakonda Cybercrime Police. 🚨
Such scams often target educated professionals via social media friendships, fake trading dashboards, and WhatsApp “advisors.”
Loser: The advocate—financially drained and emotionally scarred. 😔
Gainers: Cyber fraudsters exploiting trust through romance-cum-investment traps.
For youth and professionals, this is a red flag—never trust social-media investment links. 🔒 Cybercrime in Telangana is rising, especially in “forex” and “crypto” traps targeting working-class investors.
Easy-profit dreams come with hidden claws. 🕸️ Telangana’s cyber police need stronger cross-border tracing, while citizens must treat online investments like strangers—verify twice, invest once.
