In July, the businessman received a text from an unknown number stating that he was being cheated in the name of forex currency trading. 'The unidentified person demanded 10% of the invested amount as commission to help him get his money back. When he tried to withdraw the profits that reflected on the app, he was asked to pay various charges to unlock his gains. When he contacted the person who alerted him, he told the businessman that he would help him only after receiving the commission. He didn't get carried away by him and approached the police for help,' the officer added.
