Recently, a businessman in Noida, India was lured into investing in the fake trading platform SpreadMKT after meeting a woman on a dating app, resulting in a loss of up to 65.2 million rupees (approximately 5.53 million RMB).

Pulled into SpreadMKT platform by 'online dating girlfriend'

In December 2024, Daljeet Singh, a businessman from Noida District 36, met a woman named Anita Chauhan through a dating app. The two began to communicate frequently and quickly developed an intimate relationship.

Anita used her "emotional" offensive to recommend the online trading platform SpreadMKT to Dargit, claiming that she could easily profit even without trading experience.

In order to gain Dargit's trust, Anita convinced him to invest 320000 rupees (approximately 27132 RMB) for the first time, and soon his account showed a profit of 24000 rupees (approximately 2035 RMB). This small profit boosted Dargit's confidence, and he gradually increased his investment.

Unable to withdraw! 30% deposit and 6.1 million rupees' exchange service fee are required

When Dargit attempted to withdraw funds from trading platforms SpreadMKT and Spprecdex.cc, he encountered numerous obstacles.

The platform refused to release the loan on the grounds of "paying a 30% deposit" and a 6.1 million rupee (approximately 517000 RMB) "exchange service fee". At this moment, Dargit realized that he had fallen into a carefully planned fraud trap and immediately reported it to the Delhi Cybercrime Police.

In just a few months, he transferred a total of 65.2 million rupees (approximately 5.53 million RMB) to multiple fraudulent accounts, and even borrowed 20 million rupees to continue investing under Anita's instigation.

The police stated that they have started investigating the case. The police are tracking the transaction and have requested detailed information from the bank. Their investigation found that the personal information of "Anita Chohan" is fake. At present, the police are working hard to identify the fraud gang and strive to recover the defrauded funds.
