Noida woman downloads Amazon gift from WhatsApp group, loses Rs 51 lakh in new scam

India Today  

In a new case of online scam, a woman from Greater Noida lost over Rs 51 lakh after using a seemingly harmless Amazon gift voucher shared in a WhatsApp group. Aarti told her that Hari Singh had purchased Amazon gift vouchers worth Rs 1,000 for each woman in the group to help them out. After gaining her trust, Hari Singh convinced the victim that she could earn three to five times her investment within a month by trading in the stock market through him. In this particular case, the scammers gave the victim a free Amazon voucher to win her trust and push her into investing money in their appwhich was probably a phishing app designed to deceive people.
