The Cyber Cell promptly analyzed
In both cases, the victims were lured by a web link received through WhatsApp, promising work-from-home opportunities. The scam involved convincing the victims to invest money with the promise of high returns.
Initially, small tasks with quick returns were provided to bait the victims. Gradually, they were asked to invest larger amounts, which led to significant financial losses.
Pulwama Police warn citizens to be vigilant against such scams. No legitimate investment scheme offers quick and substantial returns. The public is advised to avoid falling for such fraudulent schemes and to invest wisely.
The Pulwama Police and its Cyber Unit reaffirmed their commitment to protecting the financial interests of the people and will continue to work proactively to prevent cybercrime.
