Man Loses Rs 6.5 Crore After Trusting Investment Advice From Dating App Match

Daljit Singh lost Rs 6.5 crore after trusting a woman he met on a dating app. She lured him into investing in fake firms after gaining his confidence with small initial profits

A man lost Rs 6.5 crore, his lifelong savings, after meeting a woman on a dating app. Last year, after joining the app, the Noida resident, Daljit Singh, matched with a woman named Anita, who allegedly convinced him to invest in certain companies claiming it would fetch him huge profits.

In December 2024, Singh, Director at a Delhi-based firm and Anita from Hyderabad started talking to each other. From casual greetings to deeper discussions, their interactions gradually evolved. Before long, they had become close friends, according to NDTV.

Following this, Anita shared some investment advice and suggested that Singh could invest in three companies which would fetch him a good profit.

Singh initially invested Rs 3.2 lakh in the first website and earned Rs 24,000 within just a few hours. His confidence grew when he easily transferred Rs 8,000 from the profit to his bank account. This reinforced his belief that Anita was giving him genuine advice.

Singh took a significant leap and invested his lifelong savings of approximately Rs 4.5 crore. Following Anita's advice, he even took a loan of Rs 2 crore and added it to the investment. Singh had now transferred a total of Rs 6.5 crore to 25 bank accounts through 30 different transactions.

But he became a little suspicious when he attempted to withdraw his funds, just as he had done earlier, he was instead informed that he would need to transfer 30% of the total invested amount as a fee, as per the report.

When he refused to comply, all contact with him was severed. Furthermore, two of the three websites that Anita had recommended were no longer operational.

According to NDTV, Singh filed a complaint at the Cyber Police Station in Noida Sector-36.

Upon investigation, Anita's dating app profile turned out to be fake. Police are now trying to gather information on the accounts to which the money was transferred.

When the police started investigating, they found that Anita’s dating app profile was fake. The police are now working to trace the accounts where the money was transferred.
