Noida, July 17 -- Three individuals, including two residents of Noida and one from Greater Noida, were duped of Rs.77 lakh in separate investment frauds over the past three months, police said on Wednesday. All three cases were registered at the Cyber Crime Branch police station. In the first case, a 65-year-old retired doctor from Greater Noida West lost Rs.42.3 lakh between June 2 and June 30 after receiving a notification about discounted IPO and block trading offers from a nationalised bank. "After the assurance, the victim shared his personal details and completed the Know Your Customer (KYC) process after visiting the website provided by the suspects," said a police officer. The victim later found Rs.3 crore as 'profit' on the platform but was asked to pay commission and charges to withdraw. "Suspicious of these new demands, I requested to meet the group administrator at the securities office (branch office) in Mumbai... but the administrator failed to appear," the FIR reads. Bank officials confirmed no such scheme existed. A case under Sections 318 and 319 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 66D of the IT Act has been registered. In the second case, a 52-year-old Sector 37 resident lost Rs.24 lakh from March 18-23 after being lured into investing in multinational companies. "He was promised 80% profit returns," said SHO Ranjeet Kumar Singh. In the third case, a 27-year-old man was duped of Rs.10.72 lakh on June 8 and 9 in a similar scam. A case was registered on June 14 and further investigation is underway....
