According to the police, the victim received a WhatsApp message from a person who claimed to be associated with a private financial institution and offered IPO allotments and trading opportunities.

“The fraudsters regularly showed fake dashboards displaying profits and discounted share allotments, claiming the trades were under a Qualified Institutional Placement to the victim. To convince him to part with money, they allotted more shares than his balance, allowed labelling the difference as a non-interest loan, and then demanded repayment with threats to freeze his accounts,” said Hyderabad cybercrime police.
