Retired TCS employee duped of Rs 3 crore by share trading fraudsters
Mumbai: A 58-year-old retired TCS executive lodged a complaint after being duped of almost Rs 3 crore from cyber fraudsters in an online scam. Impersonating officials of a reputed share trading platform, the fraudsters lured him twice and duped him of Rs 2.6 crore. The victim, a resident of Navroz Bagh in Lalbaug, detailed how he was lured through deceptive advertisements on Facebook and tricked over a span of two months. According to the complaint, the victim, who dabbled in stock trading for the past five years, came across an advertisement for "Kuvera Finance" while browsing Facebook on June 10. On clicking the link, he was added to a WhatsApp group named "K21 - Kuvera Appha Club - Learn & Grow Your Wealth." The group was allegedly moderated by Rutuja Lad, who claimed to be a manager at Kuvera Finance, and Neelabh Sanyal, who posed as an investment advisor.

Under their guidance, he began transferring funds into various bank accounts, which included names like Sweet and Salt, Yash Traders, Axiopay Infotech Pvt. Ltd, and Sahil Enterprises, among others. Over a period of weeks, he was duped into transferring Rs 56.2 lakh under the pretext of stock investments that were displayed as virtual profits on fake trading apps. In a parallel operation, the victim encountered another fraudulent scheme through a Facebook advertisement for UTI AMC. This led him to a WhatsApp group named "UTI Capital Storm," where individuals identified as Sanya Kapoor and Imtaiazur Rahman introduced themselves as managers of UTI Mutual Fund. They used similar tactics, guiding the victim to invest by sending funds to accounts under names like Prudent Services Ltd, A.K. Traders, Harish Kumar, Sri Kalai Enterprise, Brightview Technologies, Hasan Creation, and Prince Corporation. Between June 16 and July 29, the victim transferred an additional Rs 2 crore to these accounts. The fraudsters repeatedly showed inflated profits on virtual dashboards but refused to allow withdrawals, citing fabricated "processing fees." When the victim attempted to withdraw his investments on July 29, the accused demanded a 5% payment on the invested sum. Sensing foul play, the victim attempted to contact the accused, but they became unresponsive. Realising he was cheated, the victim immediately filed complaints with the 1930 Cyber Helpline, an FIR was lodged against Rutuja Lad, Neelabh Sanyal, Sanya Kapoor, and Imtaiazur Rahman—and lists multiple bank account holders used as conduits for the scam. These accounts spanned across several banks. The complainant has submitted screenshots of WhatsApp chats, payment details, and other evidence to assist in the investigation. Authorities suspect that the scam is part of a larger pan-India racket involving mule accounts and international operatives. A senior officer from the cyber cell said, "We are tracing the digital footprint of the accused and are in touch with the respective banks to freeze the accounts. Preliminary investigations indicate the involvement of a well-organised cyber syndicate."
