A 42-year-old person from Langer house became the victim of online trading investment scam and lost Rs.10.21 lakh.
On October 21, 2025, the victim received a Facebook message from a woman identifying herself as Sai Preethi, claiming to be from the UK and a native of Vizag. She established familiarity and gradually gained the victim’s trust, later convincing him to invest in online trading with the assurance of high returns.
Acting on her instructions, the victim initially transferred Rs.50,000. Small
profits were later shown in his trading wallet to create trust, prompting him to invest further.
Between September 1 and October 10, 2025, the victim transferred a total of Rs.10.21 lakh to various UPI Ids and bank accounts provided by the fraudster.
