Pune: IT Engineer Falls Victim to Matrimonial Site Scam, Loses Rs 91.75 Lakhs
Pimpri Chinchwad, 10th July 2023: A distressing incident has come to light involving an IT engineer who was swindled out of Rs 91.75 lakhs on a matrimonial site, under the false pretense of marriage.
According to the available information, the woman convinced the engineer to invest a significant sum of money for their future together, before tying the knot. Trusting her words, he transferred the staggering amount of Rs 91.75 lakhs to her bank account in three installments.
However, to his dismay, he soon realized that he had fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme, as he received no returns on his investment.
The youth, residing in Dehu Road, had registered on a matrimonial site in search of a life partner. It was during this time that he encountered a woman on the platform and began conversing with her. The woman, who promised to marry him, persuaded him to invest money for their brighter future.
Trusting her intentions, the engineer, named Ravi, agreed to her proposal and proceeded to take a loan of Rs 71 lakhs, which he transferred to the woman’s bank account. Ravi was led to believe that his funds were being invested in the lucrative bluecoin trading business. However, despite his investment, he did not receive any returns as promised.
