Noida Man Loses ₹6.3 Crore Life Savings in Online Love Scam

New Delhi, March 29, 2025: In a scary situation of cybercrime, a man living in Noida lost all his life’s money of ₹6.3 crores, after being a victim of a very complicated and sophisticated online love scam. A guy who is a divorcee and a company director at a Delhi company, a guy named Daljit Singh, is the victim of the fraud. He was deceived by a woman his girlfriend had who posed as a stock professional and eventually stole his money. The whole thing was revealed to the police when Mr. Singh went to the Police Station in Cyber Sector-36 in Noida and filed a report about it.

from a dating site social match last December, Daljit Singh’s search for the one went the wrong way when he became a victim of a financial fraud. He posted his profile on a dating app in hopes of meeting a new person and making friends. He soon encountered a person named Anita, who said she was from Hyderabad. Their engagement moved from simply ‘hello’ to meaningful, supportive conversations, and ultimately, there was mutual trust established between the pair.

After manipulating the man to blindly trust her, Anita is said to have taken him to three trading websites and told him that investing in them would make him a lot of money. To make the guy believe, she instructed him to put an initial investment of ₹3.2 lakh. At that time, they presented him with a ₹24,000 income, and after finally, he had been able to receive ₹8,000 from that sum moving it into his personal bank account, his trust in her became even stronger.

Creating a Loss But then, following these first transactions, she kept persuading Mr Singh to transfer more funds by telling him he would get more profits and therefore, he subsequently trusted her with the rest of his savings, even taking a loan of ₹2 crore to continue investing. In total, he transferred nearly ₹6.5 crore in 30 different transactions to 25 bank accounts. Yet, he was told that he needed to invest another 30% of the money he had to withdraw the money when he tried to take the money out. Having sensed that something went wrong, he refused to make any more payments. Since that time, Anita stopped all connections with him, and two of the three trading websites she recommended went offline.

The Police are Examining the Case Upon realizing the fraud orchestrated against him, Mr Singh sought the help of the cyber crime police. The fact-finding mission discovered the dating profile of Anita to be a sham and identified the person as a key player in the scam. A further activity that the police do is following the destination bank accounts that were used to transfer the money and also through the identification of the real people initiating all that. Such a case brings up the issue of the increasing trend of online fraud, where individuals become exposed to emails and dating websites that have been hijacked and taken away from their original purposes
