Caught in Goa: Young Scammer's Ambitious Telegram Fraud Unveiled
In a recent captivating case of deception and audacity, a 23-year-old man from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Aman Parmar, was apprehended in Goa. His crime? Orchestrating a complex job scam on Telegram that led to a Mumbai resident parting with Rs 6.09 lakh.
The Lure: A Tale of Easy Money
The saga began on June 12, 2025, when a Jogeshwari resident, managing a factory, received an enticing Telegram message from a so-called Vijay. The proposal was deceptively simple: earn between Rs 5000 and Rs 8000 daily by rating restaurants online. The ambition to seize a golden opportunity was ignited instantly, no doubt.
Setting the Trap: A Web of Deceit
As the old adage goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The unsuspecting victim, after a seemingly rewarding registration experience of making Rs 180, was intrigued enough to continue. Slowly but surely, Aman Parmar led him into a labyrinth of fake links and bogus promises through a site mimicking NSE investments.
The Sting: Losing to Illusions
It is within the confines of such cunning operations that the victim transferred amounts steadily rising in volume, completely absorbed and convinced by the ever-inflating fake balance visible on his screen. Yet, the dawn was not far when reality dawned brutally—payouts ceased and the truth of the scam became glaringly vivid.
The Pursuit: Law’s Long Arm
Resolute in finding justice, the victim approached the Oshiwara Police Station, which launched an investigation that quickly led to Aman Parmar’s arrest in Calangute, Goa, aided by local police forces. It was a decisive turning of the tide for both the victim and those susceptible to such frauds.
Lessons Learned: Vigilance in Cyberfrontiers
This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the vigilance required in the digital realm. According to Mid-day, cybercriminals frequently target everyday individuals, exploiting their trust and ambition through carefully crafted digital deceptions. Staying informed and critical is as crucial as ever in today’s interconnected world.
