Pune: Crooks duped a 45-year-old school teacher from Sus road of Rs 15.1 lakh in crypto currency fraud between March 1 to July 21, 2023.The victim had initially filed a complaint application with the city’s cybercrime police. After its verification, an FIR was registered with the Chatushrungi police on Sunday. Inspector (crime) Yuvraj Nandre on Monday said that the crooks called the victim and wooed her to make investment in crypto currency for handsome returns. They told her to download an application for trading on the digital currency.Nandre said the victim followed the instructions and transferred Rs15.1 lakh from her two bank accounts to the crooks’ accounts through multiple transactions. The application showed that the teacher had earned profit, but the crooks did not give her the access rights to transfer the profit amount to her bank account.The victim made numerous communications with the crooks, requesting them to transfer the profit to her bank account but nothing happened. Later, the crooks demanded varying amounts citing govt tax, among others, from the teacher for receiving the profit sum. She realised that she was tricked after the crooks stopped communications, he said.The police officer said, “We would be writing to the bank to submit details of the financial transactions done by the crooks to understand the money trail. We would be also writing to the application for sharing details of the transactions.”
