Noida, Oct. 1 -- A 42-year-old woman in Noida was allegedly duped of Rs.32 lakh by cyber criminals for seeking help on an online messaging app to help her minor girl become a model, police said on Tuesday, adding that a case has been lodged at Cybercrime Branch police station. Police said the woman, a single mother, resides in a high-rise in Sector 79. "When the woman was looking for child modelling opportunities for her daughter, she came in contact with the fraudsters through Telegram and was asked to complete some tasks to get assistance in the modelling process," said an officer. "The fraud was committed via various transactions, asking me to make deposits in different accounts, stating they are investing with a merchant and money will be returned," she alleged in her FIR, adding that "initially they asked to submit Rs.90,000, and said every merchant task has three steps; unless I complete all of them, the money will be forfeited." Police said she went on to transfer Rs.17 lakh and was asked to deposit more as her entire funds were frozen. "She took a loan against her jewellery and transferred Rs.17 lakh more. When they demanded Rs.12 lakh more, she realised it was a trap," said the officer. SHO (Cybercrime Branch) Ranjeet Singh said, "A case under BNS sections for cheating and cheating by personation and IT Act has been registered against unidentified suspects, and probe is on. "...
