Canacona man duped into crypto scam; bank accounts frozen over diverted cyber fraud funds

Digital Goa, August 5 – A Canacona resident has lodged a complaint alleging that he was lured into a fake cryptocurrency investment scheme, which resulted in two bank accounts being frozen after suspected cyber fraud funds were traced to them. The complainant alleged that the accused promised returns through a cryptocurrency investment business, induced him to buy cryptocurrency, and persuaded him to share his HDFC Bank account details and another person’s bank account for receiving investor funds. Both accounts were later frozen and placed under lien after suspected cyber fraud transactions were detected.
