Airhostess falls for commission for rating reviews, liking videos, loses Rs 11 lakh

As per her complaint, she was in Saudi Arabia when on October 4, she received a message on her Telegram with a link asking that if she would open an account on the given link and like the videos on it, she would earn commission. She opened her account on the given link and started linking the videos. Meanwhile, a woman named Neha Bhatiya approached her on telegram alleging that she was a representative of the company known as Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group and she was her account manager.

Bhatiya took all the bank details of the victim and deposited Rs. 1000 in her bank account for the video she liked. Bhatiya later asked the victim to invest in cryptocurrency, which would give her huge profits.

The victim agreed and the fraud shared another link with her asking her to open another account. The victim followed the instructions and later deposited Rs. 11 lakh in several instalments on the given bank accounts, said a police officer.

The fraudster claimed that her money was invested on bitcoins and she would get huge profits. When the fraudster asked he to invest more, it is then that the victim discussed the matter with her husband and learnt she had been duped.

The couple then approached the central Cyber police station and registered a case against unknown persons for cyber fraud.
