65-Year-Old Nagpur Businessman Duped of ₹26 Lakh in Crypto Scam

A 65-year-old man from a city called Nagpur was tricked by bad people who wanted his money.

He was on a train ride when a man pretended to be his old school friend.

This man told him about a way to make money with cryptocurrency.

He promised that the man's money would become twice as much.

The man believed him and sent more than 26 lakh rupees, which is a very large amount of money.

Later, the tricksters asked him for even more money.

That is when the man realized it was a trick.

He went to the police in Mumbai to tell them what happened.

The police have now registered a case and are trying to find the people who did this.

It is important to remember that no one should ever promise to double your money, because that is usually a trick.
